Escape! -- The Man Who Stole the Bible
A bored salesman spending the night in a lonely hotel room decides to take a few moments to read some passages from the Gideon Bible in his nightstand.
This small decision results in major complications including robbery, murder, pursuit and even death -- all taking place in and around New Orleans during Mardi Gras.
Sam Pierce is very good as Mr Cumming, the average man caught in an extraordinary circumstance. Who are the people trying to kill him. And why?
Mark this episode as a top-notch thriller, much in the style of a classic Hitchcock film. Well worth a listen!
