Escape presents “Leiningen Versus the Ants,” originally broadcast on May 23, 1948.

Adapted by Robert Ryf from Carl Stephenson’s short story and directed by Norman Macdonnell.

On an isolated plantation in the Amazon jungle, Leiningen refuses to abandon his land as an immense army of ants advances. With the commissioner, his assistant, and the plantation workers facing an overwhelming natural threat, this is a tense tale of preparation, resolve, and man against nature.

Escape presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
