Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - The Lux Radio Theater "Secret Of The Incas" (12-14-54)


Secret Of The Incas (Aired December 14, 1954)


In October of 1934, "Lux Radio Theater" debuted in New York on NBC's Blue radio network. Presenting audio versions of popular Broadway plays, the show failed to garner an audience and soon ran out of material. After switching networks to CBS and moving to Hollywood, Lux found its true market. The show began featuring adaptations of popular films, performed by as many of the original stars as possible. With an endless supply of hit films scripts and an audience of more than 40 million, Lux enjoyed a prosperous run until the curtain fell in 1956

THIS EPISODE:
Secret Of The Incas (12-14-54)
An Incan legend states that the Inca Empire was destroyed by the gods when a gold and jeweled starburst was stolen from the Temple of the Sun centuries ago, and that the ancient civilization will be reborn once the treasure is returned. Harry Steele (Charlton Heston), an American adventurer is seeking the artifact, as is his nemesis Thomas Mitchell, along with Elena Antonescu (Nicole Maurey), an Iron Curtain refugee.
