Escape presents “30 the Man Who Stole the Bible,” originally broadcast on CBS on August 30, 1951. This archival episode is cataloged as episode 5108. Written by John and Gwen Bagni and produced and directed by William N. Robson, it stars Sam Pearce as traveling salesman Cummings.
In Mardi Gras-era New Orleans, Cummings takes a Gideon Bible from hotel room 302 just to pass the time while awaiting a call. Soon, suspicious strangers, a questionable house detective, and unnerving costumed figures make the little book seem far more dangerous than it first appeared.
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.
