The Whistler presents “Escape to Skull Island,” originally broadcast on CBS on January 15, 1950. This is episode 398, written by R. Sprague Hall and sponsored by Signal Oil.

Escaped convict Steve Henshaw flees a nighttime waterfront pursuit and finds refuge aboard a barge near Skull Island, where George and Melody Gromick are involved in a dangerous deep-sea salvage operation. Ted de Corsia, Fay Baker, Tom Tully, and William Conrad are featured in this shadowy tale of dark water, hidden treasure, and competing interests.

The 50 Greatest Old Time Radio Shows 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.
