JACK ARMSTRONG "Ship In Distress"

Jack, Billy and Betty are on deck of The Penguin which is steaming towards the source of a red distress rocket. But this also means that they are heading straight towards the ice. Captain Campbell will have to use all his sea skills to avoid disaster and rescue the men from the trapped ship, that they soon discover is The Pelican! SPOILER ALERT: This is one episode from a serialized series of 15 minute episodes aired nightly. Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy was a radio adventure series which maintained its popularity from 1933 to 1951. The program originated at WBBM in Chicago on July 31, 1933, and was later carried on CBS, then NBC and finally ABC. This episode is from January 1, 1934 and stars Jim Ameche as the hero. Our estimate is that Ameche was nineteen years old at the time of this airing, probably on CBS Radio.
