In this thrilling episode of the Mystery Theater, we delve into the chilling tale of "Arctic Encounter," a story set in the desolate, windswept polar regions. Two military observation planes, one American and one Russian, find themselves mysteriously downed in the frozen wasteland. As the pilots, Chappy and Olga, struggle to survive the harsh conditions, they uncover a strange, otherworldly force that has drained their planes of power and threatens to consume them. This force, a world of pure intelligence, feeds on energy and seeks to absorb the pilots into its collective consciousness. As they grapple with the reality of their situation, Chappy and Olga must decide whether to fight this mysterious entity or succumb to its will.
Amidst the tension and uncertainty, the episode explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the human spirit's resilience. Chappy, an American pilot, and Olga, a Russian navigator, find themselves united against a common enemy, challenging the boundaries of nationality and allegiance. As they confront the unknown, they must rely on each other to find a way to survive and prevent further disaster. Will they manage to escape the icy grip of the Arctic and the enigmatic force that seeks to claim them, or will they become part of a new world beyond their understanding?

I'll be back shortly with Act One. Maybe you've got a neighbor who just bought a new Electra, and you've gotten so smug and self satisfied lately you can't stand it. Well, look at it this way. If you had just gotten a car with all the luxury and prestige Electra and a trim European like design that makes it easier than you might imagine to park and maneuver in city traffic, wouldn't you be a little insufferable for a while? We thought so. The new Electra at your Buick dealers now.

Parents, when you teach your child numbers, he's learning a skill that will be useful when he learns to read later on. Give your child five pieces of plain paper. Write one number from one to five on each one, then give your child some old magazines and tell him to cut out pictures from the magazines and paste them on the sheets of paper. Tell him to find one house, two dogs, three cats, four children, or five ladies. Use any objects you desire. When he's finished, clip or staple them together with a cover page that says my book of numbers one to five and put his name on it. He'll be busy with this activity for some time and he'll love that you're helping him learn. Did you know that parents all over the country like you are beginning to understand that teaching their children is something that they can do and that it tremendously benefits their children? For other ways you can help your child, listen for other new approach method reading hints to parents furnished as a public service announcement by this radio station.

The roof of the world. Those frozen silent polar wastes. Or are they wastes? These vast illimitable prairies of snow and ice. It is said that beneath them lie the greatest riches of the Earth. The oils, the metals, all the sinew and substance of modern civilization. And perhaps here are even hidden the ancient secrets of the planet itself. At any rate, the stillness is broken every day by the noise of the airplanes as they fly back and forth. Looking, listening, charting, recording, The airplanes would show the white stars of our air force and the red stars

of theirs. Bonnie Hutch calling White Rabbit.
[00:05:36] Unknown:
This is White Rabbit, Bonnie Hutch. Location check. Coordinates 34 16. Activity. Negative. Roger. Hey, Dawson. What's for Chow at the base? Betty, you shouldn't ask. What's the movie they're showing? Betty, you shouldn't know. Gonna be one of those nights. Roger, get out. Well, Papi, another action filled evening awaits us at the base. You wanted action, you should have joined the marine. Bite your tongue. Besides, I'm not a fighter. I'm a lover. Yeah. That's all I've heard. It is true that on this assignment, avocation as frequently as I would prefer. However however, we must all make sacrifices for our country. What are we doing up here inside this frosted over refrigerator, Pappy? Our Ours is not the reason why, Chappy. Here we are, Pappy and Chappy, the Happiness Boys.
You remember the the Happiness Boys? I never heard of them. They were a teen. Oh, forty, fifty years ago on radio. Teen? Mhmm. Tee? Tee? Tee? Tee? You you you have to be kidding. I just made that up. No. It's true. I read all about them. Billy Jones and Ernie Hare. Snappy songs and patter. And there was Uncle Don? Happy you never cease to amaze me. This is Uncle Don. You're Uncle Don. Hello, little friends. Hello. Where do you get all of this? Research. You are a very deep person. What else is there to do up here, but read? You had to try it, champ. Oh, I did try it. I actually read a book once. I wouldn't wanna go through it again.
What time do you have? Thirteen hundred on the head. That's what I thought. Well, I wonder where they are. What could have happened to Ivan? Yeah. Now that you mention it, what indeed? You don't see him, do you? Nope. At exactly thirteen hundred, he's supposed to be visible at 11:00. No sign of it. Should we report it? Why should we? Tell me honestly, if we were to spot him right now, would we report it? Well, you know we would. Okay. Tell me why. Well, you know why. Tell me. Because if we do spot Ivan, that's a happening. And if we don't spot him, that's a non happening. Well, I'll tell you who would disagree with that. Who? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Well, now don't bring your English friends into this thing. He once wrote a story in which every night, this dog would bark. Are you following this? It's not all that hard. However, on this particular night, the dog did not bark. He did? He did not. Which is just as significant as what may be happening out here. In what way?
Each day for the last thirty days on patrol, we fly by Ivan. Today, we don't. Why not? Okay. Why not? I don't know. Could it be significant? Let's throw it at Dawson. Maybe we can ruin his day. White rabbit calling the hutch. This is my hutch. Come on in, white rabbit. I have an unusual occurrence to report. Bruce, see you, white rabbit. The dog did not bark. Yeah. That's it. What's it? That Spascoff two motor observation plane we fly by over coordinates thirty four sixteen to thirteen hundred. Well, it's first time in thirty days and we haven't seen them. I thought you'd like to know. May I go put you in for Legion of Merit? Thank you. Now can you tell us a movie for tonight?
[00:08:59] Unknown:
Sean Holmes in the Horn of the Baskervilles. This is a Hutch over nonsense.
[00:09:06] Unknown:
You know, I thought I should you boys think we're crazy. Look, in this outfit, if you're not crazy, you go crazy. What do you suppose did happen to Ivan today? Well, I could have changed the patrol route. I don't think so. Not till we do. The idea is to keep an eye on us. Yeah. Just like we're keeping an eye on them. Naturally. Maybe Ivan goofed and got themselves sent to Siberia. From here, that would be a promotion. Let me tell you something about Ivan. One of them might be an Auga. What's this? If you listen real close to their messages, one of them sounds like a dame. A dame with a deep voice. They all got deep voices, those olgians. I mean, they're built. Did you ever see pictures of them sweeping the snow off in the streets? Those are large ladies. On the other hand, some of them are frail and wispy, floating little ballerinas. Yeah. I like why it's somewhere in between. Do you think one of the islands is in Algon? You could win money on it. Why you say that? Instinct.
Just let there be a dame within a thousand miles. Well, if she is, she's probably the only one. I wonder how I could meet her. Champion, with all the dames that we have in The United States Of America. Now, Pappy, you're taking an isolationist, a chauvinistic point of view. Oh, excuse me. I didn't mean to offend you. Why are we here? To maintain peace. Any fool knows that. What better way to promote peace than for people to come together and really get to know each other? Now you take this, Aga. I bet she's just as anxious for a few laughs as we are. Yeah. I can I can see her now?
Dark hair, black eyes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was always my type. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We're such fools, you and I. Why are we being kept apart? Don't tell me you're in love with her already. How long do you think it takes, Papi? Chappy, take a look Far distant What? 02:00 on the ground Yeah? What do you think it is? What I think what? Oh Check it through the glasses That's not my imagination, is it? No? No, that's something all right Let's have a good look Have a look Looks like a plane Not in one piece either It's Ivan all smashed up It's a Spasskov two motor. It must have come down high too.
Do you think anyone's alive there? No. There's something funny going on. We should have heard a distress signal. Maybe he didn't have a chance. He's down. It's a cinch. He's missed out on a checkpoint. His face should be trying to reach him. I don't hear a thing. Call the Hutch. Tell him what we got. I sure hope Aug is okay. White rabbit calling the bunny hutch. Come in, bunny hutch. Bunny hutch? What's the matter? I can't raise the base Come in, bunny hutch This is White Rabbit Near the lights What the radio's dead What? What? Chappy, we're losing power What's going on? Everything's out What's going on?

As if somehow, suddenly, it all just drained out. I know that sounds crazy. What can we do? I don't know. I don't either. Just asking to pass the time. Probably, is any is anything is anything broken? I don't think so. I just just feel nothing. Can you move? Yeah, maybe if you help me. The question is where would we go? Well, we just have to sit tight provided that we don't I I I I We're not gonna freeze Without power, we can't make any heat in here Look, we got these lanterns in the emergency locker That's what they're for to give heat with plenty of blankets and some food How far do you figure we're from base? Oh two fifty miles We gotta hold on In about an hour they'll be out looking for it Well now I haven't Zilly I'm gonna go look Now let's get those heat ladders going first Happy How do you account for the fact we both came down in exactly the same spot?
I don't know There a reason? I don't know There is such a thing as coincidence but suppose it isn't a coincidence Then what? Well, it's one for the deep lakes which lets me out All right I think I got the last party Things will be nice and warm when I come back in Nice and warm Be lucky if we can hold the temperature above freezing Well that's cozy for this neighborhood Hold it for it Now listen don't stay out there too long Just a quick look and back at 70 below.

Hi. I'm Mike Connors. If you've ever wondered what happens to the money you give to the kidney foundation, here are some examples. A kidney machine that fits in a suitcase and can be carried anywhere in the world and set up in a matter of minutes by the patient himself. This lifesaving machine developed with your Kidney Foundation support will soon be generally available. Here's another example. A A little chemical pellet that is taken orally by patients with failing kidneys. These pellets may substantially shorten dialysis treatment. More than that, these pellets may eventually eliminate dialysis entirely for some patients. In a research center, scientists are trying to develop an antibody that will prevent certain basic cells from causing rejection of transplanted organs, a major problem in kidney transplantation.
These are just three of the ways your dollars help kidney research. To do more, give more to the Kidney Foundation. Give the gift of life. The cold, frozen, forbidding North. The wasteland of snow and ice, and yet man has ever been drawn there. But unlike the forests that can be cleared and the deserts that can be watered, the North will always resist and reject us. Nothing of ours can take root or hold fast. The North, indifferent, implacable, ready to make of each visitor a victim.

[00:30:17] Unknown:
I do not know. Honey, what have we got to lose?
[00:30:21] Unknown:
Are you a good shot? I am expert. Here goes.
[00:30:32] Unknown:
Chappy. What the Don't shoot, Chappy. Don't shoot. What? It's Poppy. Don't shoot.
[00:30:43] Unknown:
Hold your fire, Olga. Hold your fire. Poppy?
[00:30:48] Unknown:
Is that you?
[00:30:54] Unknown:
It sounds like Pappy. Whatever did happen to him anyhow. But as our friends look in every direction, there is absolutely no sign of Lieutenant George Papadopoulos or of Captain Dmitri Andreyev either. There is only the endless frozen waste, the shattered remains of the two military observation planes, and a box, which first appeared to be blue, but now is glowing a fiery red. This is the picture. Hold it in mind for the next few minutes, and then we shall return with act three. For life and health insurance that puts your individual needs first, talk to your life underwriter.

From the earliest years of this nation, Americans have been involved people, stirred as much by conscience as by commerce. Today in our complex global community, each one of us is a citizen of the world. You and I are challenged to extend conscience to commitment, to help heal and strengthen, educate, and train all of our brothers and sisters who seek to build a richer, fuller
[00:33:02] Unknown:
life with dignity. Everywhere on Earth, the fight for a better life goes on. Answer that challenge through the Catholic Relief Services annual appeal, the Protestant one great hour of sharing, and the United Jewish appeal.
[00:33:22] Unknown:
Together, we have made a difference.
[00:33:36] Unknown:
As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there Chapman doesn't exactly see him, he hears him, which can be classified as the same basic type of problem. Alright? Don't shoot, Auger. Don't shoot. Is that you, Pappy?
[00:34:12] Unknown:
Yes. Yes, it is me. Where are you? That's a good question. Well, do you have a good answer? I have an answer. I don't know how good it is. On the other hand, good or bad, I'm not sure those are distinctions that matter too too much anymore. Pappy, don't try to kid the troops.
[00:34:31] Unknown:
This is me you're talking to. I'm aware of that. What's the drill? I'm a part of it.
[00:34:37] Unknown:
You're part of what?
[00:34:39] Unknown:
It's hard to explain. Yeah, but it's not impossible. Where are you? Obviously, I'm here I was right, Pappy One of the Ivans was an Auga Yes
[00:34:50] Unknown:
And the other one is called Dimitri
[00:34:53] Unknown:
Auga, where is his voice coming from? From
[00:34:56] Unknown:
it cannot be From where, Aug? Her name is Auga. It's Proskovia. Right now, that's not the problem. From where, Auga? It comes from the box. That's what I thought. I
[00:35:10] Unknown:
are you in there, Poppy? Yes. It cannot be. It is impossible.
[00:35:16] Unknown:
His voice,
[00:35:18] Unknown:
there must be a tape. Dimitri told me all about her.
[00:35:22] Unknown:
Papi, what is this? I'm trying to explain
[00:35:27] Unknown:
it. This is a thing.
[00:35:30] Unknown:
What kind of thing? Like you could call it a world. What do you mean? A world. A world like
[00:35:41] Unknown:
the one you live on.
[00:35:43] Unknown:
You said a world like the one we live on? Right. Does that mean it's another one? Yes. You could say that. Oh, Papi. For crying out loud. Sharpie, you must be calm. You realize he's my best friend, and I can't understand a thing he's talking about. Why it's so difficult?
[00:36:04] Unknown:
A world. Another world. So? Where is it, Pappy? Where is it and where are you?
[00:36:10] Unknown:
The box. The box?
[00:36:14] Unknown:
What do you think this box is?
[00:36:17] Unknown:
Well, it it it looks like It looks like computer from Sputnik. That's right.
[00:36:23] Unknown:
A Sputnik? A satellite.
[00:36:26] Unknown:
Ours are there. I don't know. It doesn't matter. It was dead. It dead? Yes. It just floated in space until
[00:36:35] Unknown:
what? Until this wandering world. What wandering
[00:36:40] Unknown:
world? Well, it's a kind of a kind of what? I'm looking for a word to describe it. I must be crazy. I'm hearing things. Intelligence.
[00:36:50] Unknown:
That's the word. A a world of intelligence? Yes. But what what kind of a world is that? Just thoughts, ideas. What kind of thoughts and ideas? Everything. All kinds of images and fancy. And what else? Nothing else. Nothing else? I mean, that that that's enough to make up a whole world. Yes. She understands.
[00:37:14] Unknown:
Our world is ideas. But to support ideas, we need, how do you say, physical bodies.
[00:37:22] Unknown:
This this is another world, another civilization.
[00:37:25] Unknown:
I still don't understand it.
[00:37:28] Unknown:
This is a world of pure intelligence. It doesn't need bodies. It's evolved far beyond that point. But you haven't told me where it is. Yes, I did. It's in that box.
[00:37:43] Unknown:
The whole world in that small box?
[00:37:47] Unknown:
How much space do you need for an idea? How did it get here? The satellite was in space. It attracted this this floating world. Yeah? Why? Because?
[00:38:02] Unknown:
Why?
[00:38:04] Unknown:
I think this is something he doesn't wanna tell us. I will tell you.
[00:38:09] Unknown:
Because it doesn't make any difference now. The world, this world, it needs nourishment.
[00:38:18] Unknown:
And I think I know where you're headed, Pappy.
[00:38:24] Unknown:
And it takes its energy wherever it can find it. It floats or wanders or prowls through space
[00:38:32] Unknown:
and feeds on anything it can turn into mental energy. How did it get here?
[00:38:37] Unknown:
The satellite died and it fell and landed. The world, my world. Your world? Yes, Jappy. I'm part of it now.
[00:38:45] Unknown:
But you're an American. No. I'm part of a different world. But what are you doing?
[00:38:50] Unknown:
Well, what are you doing? You're living the same thing with us. We live, that is we try to maintain life just as you do. Don't say Woody and you like that. But it is we and you now. We seek sustenance, nourishment,
[00:39:04] Unknown:
Oh, come on, Tappy. It's all a joke. It's a big gag. No. It isn't. There's a punchline. There has to be a punchline somewhere.
[00:39:12] Unknown:
We feed on energy. All energy. Animal, vegetable, mineral,
[00:39:16] Unknown:
Can you understand him, Aga? Yes. I I believe I understand.
[00:39:22] Unknown:
And what we consume, what we are nourished by becomes a part of us, adding to us another intelligence. The difference between us is that what nourishes you becomes a part of your body.
[00:39:35] Unknown:
What nourishes us becomes a part of our intelligence. Are you telling me this thing, this this this intelligence, this world killed you? No.
[00:39:45] Unknown:
It saved me. Saved you? I was dying. So was Dmitri. So when it came, I I I couldn't resist the way you can, still.
[00:39:57] Unknown:
What do you mean, still?
[00:40:00] Unknown:
You see, the intelligence that I'm part of is nourished now. All the energy from the two planes, from Dimitri, from me. It is filled with fire, creative fire. Even you can feel the glow. But soon we will need more. And from hot red, we shall recede into cold blue.
[00:40:20] Unknown:
And then? Yes. Then?
[00:40:23] Unknown:
Then you will become weak from hunger, from cold, and you will not have the strength. You will also become part of this world. Law. It isn't bad.
[00:40:36] Unknown:
Not at all. We have to fight you, Pappy. How? How can you fight me? Olga, we have to get out of here. Do you understand? Yes. In a few hours, my base, yours will send out search planes. Those planes, if they fly by here, they'll be brought down by this thing. We must not be here. They must spot us away from the range of this thing. How far can you go, Chappy? How far in this cold? A mile? Right. He's right. But we have to do something. Yes. But what? It doesn't matter.
[00:41:05] Unknown:
Soon, you'll be one of us. I Be grateful. We will save your life. Sure. Instead of dying in the cold, you'll be rescued by our world. You'll be part of the intelligence. I would have died. Dimitri would have died. No. There's nothing you can do about it in any event, Chappie. You see how the red is fading? Soon we will need more energy. You will become colder and weaker. And the others?
[00:41:28] Unknown:
What others? You'll know what others. Your old buddies, the guys in your outfit. I no longer have an outfit. Why can't you understand that? They'll fly by. They'll see the wrecks. They'll come in closer. They'll be trapped and destroyed just as we were. Not destroyed. Just changed. Changed. August,
[00:41:44] Unknown:
can you think of something? Where can we go for? Happy do you realize this is the first time in your life you ever asked a woman for advice? Well maybe she's the first one I ever met who I felt like asking.
[00:41:54] Unknown:
Why do you think you can ask me? Well because because oh come on Tell me. Well, it's it's because well I understand. It is difficult for you to say it. Maybe. It's difficult
[00:42:14] Unknown:
for me also. What what what's gonna happen to her? Nothing. You'll both blend into this one great intelligence. You'll be part of this world. No.
[00:42:24] Unknown:
Copy. Heat is getting cold. It is. See? The box is now turning blue. Marga, we have to do something. Let us sit close to each other and and wait.
[00:42:35] Unknown:
Wait for what? Oh. No. No. We have to fight. Pappy. Yes? Come on, Pappy. You have to help us fight this thing. Pappy, I am this. No. Not you. Your Lieutenant George Papadopoulos is the most popular guy in the one ninety ninth squadron. No. You can't drop it like that. Your friends, your country. I mean, you can't cast them aside like a like a like a snake. It's rid of a skin. You took an oath. You don't understand. What's there to understand? A guy betrays his country. That's clear enough, and it's bad enough. But you're even worse. Don't say that, Chappie. Don't you call me choppy. That's for my friends. Lieutenant Chapman to you. I'll tell you why you're worse. It's not just your country you're selling down a river, but it's humanity. It's your own kind of people. Listen to me.
[00:43:26] Unknown:
This is this is a whole new A whole new nothing.
[00:43:30] Unknown:
You say every word is a word of ideas when you're right. But your ideas belong to this world. The stuff you grew up with, your friends, your family, the air force. Happy. You know, you know I'm right. All those memories, all the things you like, the happiness boys, Uncle Don and Sherlock Holmes. Happy, Chappy. Don't. I I can't help you. You have to.
[00:43:51] Unknown:
They won't allow it. They? Me. The rest of me, The part that was once them is trying to stop me.
[00:43:59] Unknown:
Is there anything that that we can do? Yes. Tell us. Just tell us. I'm being drowned and I
[00:44:06] Unknown:
they're taking the words from me. What What words? The words can't tell you. Try choppy. Those words are gone. But remember remember the first thing I said to you. Papi. Papi.
[00:44:31] Unknown:
The first thing he said to me. What was the first thing he said to me? We met at the base and he said to me,
[00:44:36] Unknown:
what's your name, sport? That's what he said. What's your name, sport? What is sport? Oh, athletic. No? That's not what he means. But it's the first thing he ever said to me. No. Not the first thing he ever said, but not the first thing he said now. First thing he said first thing he said he said don't don't shoot choppy don't shoot. He's right. But why? Why don't shoot? Because shoot can hurt. Destroy maybe the bomb. Hurry. Hurry. Before it gets too cold to hold a gun, hurry.
[00:45:17] Unknown:
Jabby? I think you're going to be alright. You were picked up before the frost could really get you. Hawker, the girl well, actually, her armpit landed the same time we did it. They took her. We took you. Listen to me. There was this this thing from space somewhere. It lives on energy. It drained all the power from the engines, the radio, from everything. Uh-huh. Don't look at me like that. That's why we crashed. You crashed because you had a power failure. How do you account for Ivan? Well, I guess he must have had one too. He isn't that maybe just too much of a coincidence? The life's made up of coincidences.
[00:45:57] Unknown:
Okay. Papi,
[00:45:58] Unknown:
why couldn't you find Poppy? When you must have wandered off. And Ivan, what what was his name? Dimitri? Did he wander off too? The only explanation. Look, I am trying to give you the real explanation. Did you find a blue box? Sure. It was a broken old computer housing from a space satellite. Lawson, I am trying to explain to you. Chappy. I'm trying to explain to you. Leave well enough alone. Yes. Of course. What it has to do with space and phenomena of that nature, the official reply is always a rather evasive, let well enough alone.
Officially, there are nothing but denials when questions of space, UFOs, the Bermuda Triangle are brought into question. The powers that be seem to ascribe them all to the imaginings of well meaning but deluded folk like you and me. I'll be back shortly.

Hey there, home improver. You see the old paint on your house is wearing a little thin and so is your bank account? Well, right now, you can save a bundle, Bunky, at your Olympic dealer. Buy four gallons of any one Olympic product and get one more free. Olympic overcoat, the house paint made to cover old paint. Olympic stain in both oil and latex. Hurry. One free with four and all Olympic products till May 29 at your participating Olympic dealer. He's in the yellow pages. You may be wondering whatever became of lieutenant Stuart Maitland Chapman and Proskovia Alexandrovna Sorokin, or if you will, Chappie and Olga.
You can understand how difficult it would be for them even to encounter each other again, much less engage in a courtship. This, of course, shows most poignantly that the greatest distances are not in outer space, but right here, between one side of a frontier and the other. If you're a romantic and want to believe they surmounted all the considerable problems and got together, well then, believe it with my blessing. Our cast included Mason Adams, Mandel Creamer, and Brianna Rayburn. The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown. Radio Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division and True Value Hardware stores.
This is EG Marshall inviting you to return to our mystery theater for another adventure in the macabre. Until next time. Pleasant?
