Escape presents “04 Leiningen Vs the Ants,” originally broadcast August 4, 1949. This archival recording is identified as episode 4908. Adapted by Robert Ryf from Carl Stephenson’s short story, the CBS drama stars Tudor Owen as Leiningen and Gerald Mohr as the district commissioner.
On a remote Brazilian Amazon plantation, a commissioner arrives with an urgent warning: an enormous army of ravenous ants is advancing. Leiningen refuses to leave, setting the stage for a tense struggle between human resolve and an unstoppable force of nature.
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.
