Based on the short story by Harold Lamb, which first appeared in the January 1945 issue of Blue Book magazine, this gripping Escape episode follows Humphrey Ward, an American oil company employee traveling home from business in Turkey on the legendary Taurus Express from Istanbul to Cairo. As Ward boards the train, he is overwhelmed by Mary, a desperate woman seeking help from the police. Ward decides to help hide her, as does the conductor Kevorkian. The situation becomes more complex when Ward meets Tom Hatfield, a fellow American traveling on official government business, who discovers Mary hiding in his compartment. This early Escape adventure showcases the series' trademark high-stakes storytelling set against exotic international locales during the post-war era.
