Escape! - The Man With the Steel Teeth
Arthur Henderson Luttrell is a newspaper correspondent stationed in Moscow. One night, while attending the Bolshoi Ballet, Arthur is arrested by Soviet secret police and transported to Lubyanka Prison where they try to coerce him into confessing to espionage.
Unable to crack him, Arthur refuses to confess. Later, when Arthur awakens from unconsciousness, he discovers his cell door has been left open. Anticipating a set-up, Arthur expects to be stopped before he can completely get away -- but he never is.
Leading Arthur to wonder why?
