Escape was radio's leading anthology series of mystery and high-adventure, airing on CBS from July 7, 1947 until September 25, 1954. The series's well-remembered opening combined Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain with an introduction intoned by Paul Frees and/or William Conrad. Many story premises, both originals and adaptations, involved a protagonist in dire life-or-death straits.
