In this captivating episode of Radio Mystery Theater, hosted by EG Marshall, we delve into the complexities of conscience and heroism through a tale adapted from Mark Twain's work. Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, the story explores the thin line between bravery and cowardice, as well as the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in times of conflict. We are introduced to Lady Madeline Marston Starklyde, who demands to speak with the British ambassador, and a young boy named Robert Wicklow, who sneaks into Fort Trumbull with the hope of enlisting in the army. As the plot unfolds, we discover a web of espionage and intrigue, with Wicklow at the center of a potential enemy plot to capture the fort and burn the city of New London, Connecticut.

The episode takes us on a journey through the challenges of trust and deception during wartime, as Major and Sergeant Rayburn grapple with the possibility of traitors within their ranks. The narrative is rich with suspense as the young Wicklow's true intentions are questioned, leading to a dramatic confrontation that tests the limits of compassion and duty. With themes of loyalty, identity, and the human spirit, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of war on both individuals and communities. Join us as we unravel the mystery and uncover the truth behind Wicklow's enigmatic presence at Fort Trumbull.
