"The SHANGHAI Document" • HQ Audio • JOHN DEHNER, WILLIAM CONRAD • Best Stories by ESCAPE!

A signature story from Escape has John Dehner trying to get the heck OUT of Chung King during the war, as he's trying to buy any ticket to any steamer . . . Even attempting to purchase a Chinese "Junk." After he takes a surprise Karate kick to the back, he wakes up in a (female, American) doctor's office . . . Now without his money. With help from the doctor (the help comes surprisingly quickly and easily) he's able to get transportation . . . Not looking g after he gets onboard a boat, he begins to be pursued by law men and shady characters t'boot! But he doesn't know why . . . Later, we'll learn all about the "Shanghai Document." Great story with plenty of action, great sound quality.
Did I mention that the doctor is beautiful? Now, that's a surprise.

(I've mentioned those things before. This time it's for new readers of my descriptions)

Another Masterpiece!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

I agree (as usual) It is a really good story.

[@mzmantiz508]

Love reading the extra details you include.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Great! I'm glad

[@EnvisionerWill]

A lot of these OTR adventure stories seem to pick China as their "faraway place with strange-sounding names". This is one of the more authentic-feeling ones IMO.

Mr. Paladin and hey boy and John use his real last name

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Did I hear William Conrad & John Dehner refer to the Arkansas River & Kansas? lmao. Great story and Gun Smoke references. It’s a small radio world. Thanks from Orlando Florida

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Perhaps the Arkansas river flows through Shanghai.

[@EnvisionerWill]

I wonder if John Dehner had it in his contract that his character should be named after him...
