Vincent Prince is more believable than Victory Jory as a southerner who wouldn’t be serving in the Civil War in a version of a story done by Suspense only a few years later. This really is more of a short story for the page than radio but it's still worth listening to. It falls into four parts really: opening scene of being hung, flashback to the lead up, the escape (including running into a freed slave - Price makes the lead character seem even more racist, which gives complexity to the story), the final twist (which is given away in the opening spiel anyway).
