October the 20th of 1950 and this one is one way to Macassar. Transcribe.

The National Broadcasting Company presents Herbert Marshall as Ken Thurston, The Man Called X.

Wherever there is mystery, intrigue, romance, in all the strange and dangerous places of the world,

there you will find The Man Called X.

Ourself in the vast reaches of the great Pacific Ocean. At the very back door of Asia,

lie tiny hidden islands of mystery called the Islands of Spice. Jabba, Sumatra, Borneo,

Ballet. Nearby across the treacherous soil of the Jabba sea moves a vessel whose cargo is deaf.

But of course, Pagan Zelchmit knows nothing of these things when he answers the phone in his room in New York.

Mr. Pagan Zelchmit speaking. Listen carefully Zelchmit to what I'm going to tell you.

Huh? Who are you?
