A Treasury agent follows a deadly narcotics conspiracy across the globe in this gripping Lux Radio Theatre thriller.

Murder at sea. A trail across continents. And a criminal network that seems to reach everywhere.

Tonight, on Chesterton Radio, we return to the golden age of radio drama with Lux Radio Theatre’s To the Ends of the Earth, originally broadcast May 23, 1949.

A U.S. Treasury agent investigating a shocking crime off the California coast discovers evidence of a vast international narcotics-smuggling operation. His pursuit carries him from Shanghai through the Middle East and toward America, where every new clue brings him closer to the people behind the conspiracy—and to a revelation he never expected.

Based on the 1948 motion picture and inspired by actual cases from U.S. Treasury Department files, To the Ends of the Earth combines the atmosphere of film noir with the scope of an international espionage thriller.

Settle in, turn down the lights, and enjoy another classic from Lux Radio Theatre.
