We're down to eight episodes of Escape...
So, here is "A Matter of Conscience." Why haven't I posted this one sooner? The sound quality. I haven't been able to come up with a recording of this episode that is pleasant to listen to, and it is difficult to appreciate a radio broadcast when you can't hear it properly.
As far as I can tell, here is what happens in this episode:
The story begins in the north of Bali, at a time when it was still under the control of the Dutch government. A local official remembers the story behind a native uprising and how it ruined the tourist trade for two months...
The news first came while he was drinking tea with his friend Captain Logan. An assistant arrived to inform them that three English college boys from Captain Logan's ship had desecrated one of the statues at the temple. They also ran off with two of the young temple dancers.
The Balinese went in an uproar! So, the local officials set off to find the rogue college boys and the missing girls before things got worse...
Were they able to find a solution that settled everyone down?
"A Matter of Conscience" was written by Antony Ellis and directed by Norman MacDonnell. Parley Baer starred. Also appearing were Ben Wright, Harry Bartell, Jack Kruschen, John Dehner, Don Diamond, and Terry Kilburn. This episode aired on January 18, 1953.
