This week in our summer series featuring old-time radio appearances by actors who later played killers on Columbo, we spotlight Ray Milland. Milland stars as Lieutenant Commander James Harland in a dramatization of the true story of a British gunboat trapped deep in Communist-controlled territory along China’s Yangtze River. Cut off from help, low on supplies, and under constant threat of attack, Harland and his crew must decide whether to remain stranded or risk a desperate dash to freedom.
