Escape - "A Shipment of Mute Fate" (Old Time Radio)

Escape presents “A Shipment of Mute Fate,” an archival episode of the CBS adventure anthology. The exact original broadcast date and episode number are not identified; Escape produced the same Les Crutchfield adaptation four times between 1947 and 1950. A zoological collector, Chris Warner, boards a passenger ship sailing from Venezuela to New York with a live bushmaster snake—dangerous cargo that soon turns the voyage into a tense, close-quarters search at sea. Adapted from Martin Storm’s short story, this suspenseful tale unfolds under the watch of Captain Wood. Escape presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
