Standby for Adventure

Standby for Adventure sports adventure and drama, crime and gripping macabre tales of death, murder, and mystery! Keeping your attention, this 1950s show "recreates the art of storytelling" in such a way that you sit so close to the edge that you nearly scoot off your seat.

Standby for Adventure stars a newspaper man and adventurer who "uses his newspaper experiences as a springboard for more fascinating experiences." Our dear newspaper man comes in contact with the world’s most notorious criminals and crimes.

Spellbinding tales include those of knives - "Do you own a knife? Do you treat it right? . . . You never know about knives. Yours may turn on you when you least expect it." Swamps – "Don’t move. I want to talk to you . . . you who don’t venture beyond your neighborhood. Are you afraid of distant lands, places outside your own home? For instance, are you afraid of the sounds the South American swamp makes (suck, slump, pop)" And going blind - " there are things a blind man can see better, murder for instance!"

So slip to the edge of your seat, tense your shoulders, and standby for adventure!
