Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: An alien visitor calls Earth's technology second-rate, and two engineers
- 0:04Speaker 1: accept a wager that carries them to the planet Domerang.
- 0:08Speaker 2: It is X-1, Double Dare.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Episode 122, first heard on NBC December 19, 1957. Kemmerich
- 0:18Speaker 1: and Marner find their journey turns on a sequence of
- 0:21Speaker 1: technical challenges. Planetary Prestige and their passage home are involved.
- 0:26Speaker 2: The radio play.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Adapts Robert Silverberg's short story, which appeared in Galaxy Science
- 0:32Speaker 1: Fiction in November of 1956, about a year before this
- 0:36Speaker 1: NBC broadcast, with William Welch supervising the adaptation and George
- 0:42Speaker 1: Voutsas directing. Ralph Camargo, Ivor Francis, Michael Ingram, and Harvey
- 0:48Speaker 1: Hayes are heard in the cast. Now, back to the
- 0:52Speaker 1: golden age of radio.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Countdown for blastoff. X minus 5, 4, 3, 2, X
- 1:00Speaker 2: minus 1, fire.
- 1:33Speaker 3: From the far horizons of the unknown come tales of
- 1:36Speaker 3: new dimensions in time and space.
- 1:39Speaker 2: These are stories of the future.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Adventures in which you'll live in a million could be
- 1:44Speaker 3: years on a thousand maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company,
- 1:49Speaker 3: in cooperation with Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine, presents.
- 1:53Speaker 2: X minus 1. Tonight, Double Dare. But first, hear this.
- 2:14Speaker 3: How's the weather in your part of the country? How'd
- 2:16Speaker 3: you like to spend an evening basking under warm, tropic
- 2:19Speaker 3: breezes in the sound of a gently rolling surf? Well,
- 2:21Speaker 3: that's the setting in which you'll find yourself Friday night
- 2:24Speaker 3: as Monitor, broadcasting from spectacular Miami Beach, introduces you to
- 2:29Speaker 3: the beauty and glamour of Florida and to the celebrities
- 2:32Speaker 3: who make this resort area their winter headquarters. On Saturday
- 2:36Speaker 3: and Sunday, Monitor will.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Great choirs from all over the country and from foreign
- 2:44Speaker 3: lands join in the singing of Yuletide carols. There'll be
- 2:48Speaker 3: reports on Christmas preparations in Bethlehem, West Germany, and Antarctica.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Alfred Hitchcock, Eartha Kitt, Henry Fonda, and Roberta Sherwood are
- 2:57Speaker 3: among the celebrities who will be visiting Monitor this pre-Christmas holiday.
- 3:01Speaker 3: So start your weekend right with Monitor on Friday night
- 3:04Speaker 3: and stay with Monitor all weekend long for celebrities, music, features, news,
- 3:08Speaker 3: and sports over most of these same NBC radio stations. Now,
- 3:23Speaker 3: X minus one.
- 3:24Speaker 2: And tonight's story, Double Dare.
- 3:29Speaker 5: Our ship sat down on the planet Domerang right on schedule.
- 3:32Speaker 5: Cambridge and I stood at the viewport and watched the
- 3:34Speaker 5: big Domerangi official cross the field to our landing ramp.
- 3:38Speaker 5: He was dressed in a bright yellow tunic, green-gray buskins,
- 3:41Speaker 5: and was wearing a glittering jewel diadem. He was walking
- 3:45Speaker 5: in that ponderous way those.
- 3:46Speaker 6: People always walk.
- 3:48Speaker 5: And it seemed like a long time before he actually
- 3:50Speaker 5: reached the ramp and climbed into the ship.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Welcome aboard.
- 3:55Speaker 7: Greetings, gentlemen. I see you have come through the trip
- 3:59Speaker 7: in fine shape. My name is Plovash. I'm your liaison while.
- 4:04Speaker 6: You are with us.
- 4:05Speaker 2: My name is Marner. Pleased to meet you.
- 4:06Speaker 6: And I'm Cambridge.
- 4:08Speaker 8: Well, what happens now, Plovash?
- 4:10Speaker 7: You have landed at a spaceport just outside our capital.
- 4:14Speaker 6: I have come to take you to your quarters.
- 4:17Speaker 7: We are providing you the finest accommodations our planet can offer.
- 4:21Speaker 7: We want your working conditions to be of the best.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Glad to hear it.
- 4:25Speaker 7: The actual test will begin as soon as you wish...
- 4:29Speaker 7: May I offer you good luck.
- 4:31Speaker 8: Oh, we won't need it. It's not a matter of
- 4:32Speaker 8: luck at all.
- 4:34Speaker 2: It's brains.
- 4:34Speaker 8: Brains and sweat.
- 4:36Speaker 6: Very well. This is what you are here to prove.
- 4:40Speaker 7: It ought to be amusing in any case, whatever the
- 4:43Speaker 7: outcome may be.
- 4:53Speaker 2: The whole weird deal had begun back on Earth.
- 4:56Speaker 5: And it started where most arguments like this start, in
- 4:59Speaker 5: a bar. Cambridge and I are top engineers back home,
- 5:03Speaker 5: and when this visiting Domerangi made a few cracks about
- 5:06Speaker 5: our civilization being second-rate in technology, we made a few
- 5:11Speaker 5: choice remarks about his own technology. Well, the thing got
- 5:15Speaker 5: to the news agencies and created quite a stir. It
- 5:18Speaker 5: finally led to a regular interplanetary controversy over who had
- 5:22Speaker 5: the best technical brains, Earthman or Domerangi.
- 5:26Speaker 6: So.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Here we were, Cambridge and I, sitting in an alien
- 5:30Speaker 5: hotel room millions of miles from home, staring glumly at
- 5:34Speaker 5: the walls.
- 5:36Speaker 8: Well, we're here, Miner. We're here. And we're going to
- 5:39Speaker 8: show them up and go home rich and famous. You
- 5:41Speaker 8: got that?
- 5:42Speaker 2: I hope we can show them.
- 5:43Speaker 8: We've got to. Between the two of us, we can
- 5:45Speaker 8: match anything they throw at us. Well, can't we?
- 5:49Speaker 3: Sure, sure we can. Just look at this door mechanism,
- 5:53Speaker 3: for instance. A simple cybernetic mechanism.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Yeah. Ordinary gadget. Not nearly as efficient as our kind, either.
- 6:01Speaker 3: That's just the point. Apparently, these domerangi aren't half the
- 6:04Speaker 3: sharks they.
- 6:04Speaker 8: Think they are. We said we could duplicate anything they
- 6:07Speaker 8: showed us, right?
- 6:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:08Speaker 5: And they've got two of their engineers on Earth trying
- 6:11Speaker 5: the same stunt.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Okay, so if our boys stick them and we dope
- 6:14Speaker 3: out everything they throw at us here, we've won. The
- 6:17Speaker 3: State Department's counting on our versatility, Minor.
- 6:19Speaker 2: That's all we need.
- 6:20Speaker 8: Versatility, cleverness, and hard work. We'll beat those silly-looking pants
- 6:25Speaker 8: right off them.
- 6:35Speaker 5: Camridge always did remind me of a football coach talking
- 6:38Speaker 5: to his players at halftime. But at the moment, I
- 6:41Speaker 5: was glad of it. I needed reassurance, and his own
- 6:44Speaker 5: confidence was infectious. I cheered up, and by the next morning,
- 6:48Speaker 5: we were ready to begin our part of the test.
- 6:51Speaker 5: Floribash came to see us again.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Well, good morning, Floribash. Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning.
- 7:01Speaker 7: According to agreement, we have equipped our most modern laboratory
- 7:05Speaker 7: for you. We will give you two preliminary problems. When
- 7:10Speaker 7: you have dealt with them, if you can deal with them,
- 7:14Speaker 7: we will give you a third problem.
- 7:16Speaker 2: And if we fail on any of them?
- 7:17Speaker 6: Why, then we shall have proved our point.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Fair enough.
- 7:21Speaker 8: But suppose we deal with all three, Porvash. How do
- 7:23Speaker 8: we win this thing? Do we just go on with
- 7:25Speaker 8: your projects until we miss?
- 7:27Speaker 2: Oh, no, no.
- 7:27Speaker 7: According to the agreement between our governments, the test is
- 7:30Speaker 7: limited to three problems only. The same is true for
- 7:33Speaker 7: our team on your planet. We consider that if you
- 7:36Speaker 7: do indeed complete all three projects, you will have demonstrated
- 7:40Speaker 7: your ability.
- 7:42Speaker 8: I don't like the way you say that. What's up
- 7:44Speaker 8: your sleeve?
- 7:45Speaker 6: Sleeve? I do not understand the idea.
- 7:48Speaker 8: Ah, never mind, never mind. Doesn't make any difference anyway.
- 7:50Speaker 8: Just let's get started and prove our point.
- 7:53Speaker 9: Yes.
- 7:54Speaker 7: I myself am most anxious to observe your attempts. We
- 8:10Speaker 7: return to X minus one and double dare in just
- 8:13Speaker 7: a moment.
- 8:14Speaker 4: X minus one.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Now back to X-1 and Double Dare.
- 8:32Speaker 5: The lab that was to be our workshop until we
- 8:34Speaker 5: won or lost this contest was a sumptuous place. The
- 8:38Speaker 5: sort of research set up a sane engineer never even
- 8:40Speaker 5: bothers to dream about. We stood there admiring it, Cambridge
- 8:44Speaker 5: and I, while Plorovosh waited for one.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Of us to say something.
- 8:49Speaker 6: Well.
- 8:50Speaker 8: We're impressed.
- 8:52Speaker 5: Man, it won't be hard to pull off miracles in
- 8:55Speaker 5: a lab like this.
- 8:56Speaker 2: You're making it easy for us, Plourvash.
- 8:58Speaker 7: We are honest people. If you fail, it cannot be
- 9:02Speaker 7: blamed on poor working conditions.
- 9:04Speaker 8: Okay.
- 9:04Speaker 2: When do we start?
- 9:05Speaker 6: At once. Observe your first test.
- 9:09Speaker 2: What, that little plastic bottle?
- 9:11Speaker 6: The contents. It is a depilator.
- 9:14Speaker 7: A bit rubbed on each cheek, and you do not
- 9:17Speaker 7: need shave your beard for a week's time.
- 9:20Speaker 6: Here is the bottle. Duplicate the product.
- 9:23Speaker 2: We're engineers, not chemists.
- 9:24Speaker 8: Never mind, Miner, never mind.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Okay, Parvesh, that's the first project. Give us the second
- 9:30Speaker 3: at the same time. That way we'll each have one
- 9:32Speaker 3: to work on.
- 9:33Speaker 6: Two projects at once?
- 9:35Speaker 7: Very well, gentlemen, as you wish. The second is a
- 9:38Speaker 7: trap for small house pests.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Oh, like our mousetrap, huh?
- 9:43Speaker 7: I do not know your mousetrap, but this is a
- 9:46Speaker 7: most ingenious device. Our house pests are color-sensitive, and this
- 9:51Speaker 7: trap flashes colors as a lure.
- 9:54Speaker 6: To cash works, we use this. For flames, we activate
- 10:00Speaker 6: this device. And so on. As you can see, it
- 10:06Speaker 6: is most versatile.
- 10:07Speaker 7: We have supplied you with an ample number of vermin
- 10:10Speaker 7: of different sorts. They are in cages there at the
- 10:12Speaker 7: rear of the laboratory. I believe you have everything else
- 10:17Speaker 7: you need.
- 10:18Speaker 8: You mean... This is all?
- 10:21Speaker 7: Duplicate these two products, if you can.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Okay.
- 10:26Speaker 8: And we'll let you know the moment we finish.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Yes.
- 10:29Speaker 6: Do that.
- 10:33Speaker 5: I didn't like the way he looked when he said that.
- 10:36Speaker 5: There was a catch to all this somewhere. But I
- 10:38Speaker 5: didn't have time to think about where it might be.
- 10:41Speaker 5: Cambridge and I went to work on our project at once.
- 10:44Speaker 5: It wasn't nearly as hard as it should have been.
- 10:46Speaker 5: Within four days, we summon Plurvash back to the lab.
- 10:50Speaker 6: Do you mean to say you have finished already?
- 10:53Speaker 3: Naturally.
- 10:55Speaker 5: Stay where you are, Plurvash. I want to show you something.
- 10:58Speaker 5: All right, Cambridge, activate the trap.
- 10:59Speaker 9: Check.
- 11:02Speaker 2: All right, stand back. I'm going to open the cages. No, no, no, no, don't, don't.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Those vermin, they'll be everywhere.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Too late, here they come. But you're mad.
- 11:09Speaker 6: But they'll be everywhere. Close that door.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Stand where you are and watch.
- 11:14Speaker 6: You see?
- 11:15Speaker 3: See that?
- 11:16Speaker 6: But this... This is impossible. All running to the same place.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Our trap.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Look at that.
- 11:22Speaker 4: They're in.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Every last one of them.
- 11:25Speaker 6: Remarkable. Yeah.
- 11:27Speaker 5: We've improved on your model. We've built a better trap.
- 11:31Speaker 5: Your model only deals with one species at a time.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Ours handles every variety.
- 11:36Speaker 6: It really is rather surprising.
- 11:38Speaker 8: I suppose now you want to know about the depilator.
- 11:40Speaker 2: That was easy, you know.
- 11:42Speaker 5: With the equipment you gave us, chemical analysis is a snap.
- 11:46Speaker 5: But I'm afraid we've improved on the original model here, too.
- 11:49Speaker 6: You have? In what way?
- 11:51Speaker 3: Used at the proper strength, this depilatory of ours can
- 11:53Speaker 3: last indefinitely.
- 11:54Speaker 2: The effect seems to be permanent.
- 11:56Speaker 3: Indeed.
- 11:57Speaker 7: This is a fairly impressive performance, gentlemen. You may be
- 12:03Speaker 7: interested to know that your counterparts on Earth have also
- 12:06Speaker 7: passed their first two tests successfully.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Oh, well, good for them. So, uh, it all depends
- 12:13Speaker 2: on the third test, then, huh?
- 12:14Speaker 6: It does, indeed. Shall we have that one now?
- 12:18Speaker 2: Why waste time?
- 12:19Speaker 6: Is that it?
- 12:20Speaker 3: That thing on rollers that you've got covered up back there?
- 12:22Speaker 9: Yes.
- 12:23Speaker 5: Permit me to remove that cover. Ah, a machine of
- 12:27Speaker 5: some kind. I recognize a type of piston valve, relays, tubes, rods.
- 12:33Speaker 6: Let me plug it in for you. Here's the outlet.
- 12:37Speaker 7: Now, I press the starting button.
- 12:41Speaker 9: So.
- 12:44Speaker 6: What does it do?
- 12:46Speaker 7: Suppose you remove the plug from the outlet.
- 12:50Speaker 2: All right.
- 12:51Speaker 3: There.
- 12:53Speaker 6: Hey, it's still going.
- 12:55Speaker 7: Gentlemen, this is our power source. We use it for
- 12:59Speaker 7: transportation and similar things. Duplicate it. This is your third problem.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Well, we'll give it a try.
- 13:09Speaker 6: I shall be most interested in the results. Most interested.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Good day.
- 13:15Speaker 9: Cheers.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Well, Cambridge, the machine's still going.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I see.
- 13:26Speaker 8: I wonder, can we build a perpetual motion machine?
- 13:41Speaker 2: Well, it was a challenge, all right.
- 13:44Speaker 5: A greater challenge than either of us had anticipated in
- 13:47Speaker 5: our wildest dreams.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Our heads reeled with.
- 13:50Speaker 5: The enormity of the ideas. But we worked and worked.
- 13:55Speaker 5: I don't even know how long it was, but I
- 13:57Speaker 5: think it was about three weeks. Finally, we summoned Florovash
- 14:01Speaker 5: and he came into the laboratory to see our model
- 14:03Speaker 5: and his side by side, both humming away with no
- 14:07Speaker 5: plugs in the wall.
- 14:09Speaker 4: There it is.
- 14:10Speaker 9: Cute.
- 14:12Speaker 6: You have actually done it?
- 14:13Speaker 3: Yes.
- 14:15Speaker 2: It's been running a week now and it shows no
- 14:17Speaker 2: signs of slowing down.
- 14:18Speaker 3: It actually works, but how? A complex hyperspace function. We're
- 14:22Speaker 3: making a full report, of course. I hope you realize
- 14:25Speaker 3: this is quite a stunt in gravology.
- 14:26Speaker 2: We didn't think we could do it until we had to,
- 14:28Speaker 2: so we did.
- 14:29Speaker 7: I didn't think you could do it either. This little
- 14:33Speaker 7: box on our model, have you examined it yet? No,
- 14:36Speaker 7: that nearly threw us. Apparently it's tightly sealed. We didn't
- 14:39Speaker 7: waste time getting it open. We bypassed that.
- 14:42Speaker 8: But what is the darn thing anyway?
- 14:43Speaker 6: That, gentlemen, is our power source.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Your what?
- 14:47Speaker 7: A photoelectric amplifier that should keep the model running for, oh,
- 14:52Speaker 7: another two weeks.
- 14:54Speaker 6: Then.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Then what?
- 14:58Speaker 6: Don't you see?
- 14:59Speaker 7: We do not have a perpetual motion machine. We have
- 15:03Speaker 7: hoaxed you into inventing one for us. We didn't really
- 15:07Speaker 7: think you could. It took our best minds to rig
- 15:10Speaker 7: up a model convincing enough to fool you.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Well, I'll be.
- 15:12Speaker 5: That does it. That invalidates the whole agreement. Well, now
- 15:16Speaker 5: that we're through, we'll take our machine and go back
- 15:18Speaker 5: to Earth.
- 15:19Speaker 7: I am afraid that is not possible.
- 15:21Speaker 6: Why?
- 15:21Speaker 7: By a statute in effect here for more than 700 years,
- 15:24Speaker 7: any research done in a government lab is automatically the
- 15:28Speaker 7: property of the Domerangi government. I am sorry, but I
- 15:33Speaker 7: shall have to confiscate your project, gentlemen.
- 15:35Speaker 2: We'll see about that.
- 15:36Speaker 7: Furthermore, we are forced to confiscate you yourselves. We need
- 15:42Speaker 7: you to instruct us on how to build these machines.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Horvath, Earth won't let you pull a trick like that.
- 15:48Speaker 2: This is cause for war.
- 15:50Speaker 6: I doubt it.
- 15:51Speaker 7: Why should a terrible war come about for the custody.
- 15:54Speaker 6: Of two men?
- 15:55Speaker 2: I demand to see our consul.
- 15:57Speaker 6: Of course.
- 15:58Speaker 7: That is your right, I suppose. I will arrange it.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Well, there it was.
- 16:11Speaker 5: Now that it was too late, I knew what the
- 16:13Speaker 5: cause of my uneasy feeling was. The consul from Earth
- 16:17Speaker 5: was a white-haired, sturdy gentleman with a ruddy face and
- 16:21Speaker 5: a suave manner.
- 16:22Speaker 2: He came to see us in our hotel room that
- 16:24Speaker 2: same evening.
- 16:26Speaker 9: Now, please. Rest assured, we shall make every effort to
- 16:30Speaker 9: extricate you. Do you realize what immense scientific prestige you've
- 16:36Speaker 9: given to Earth?
- 16:37Speaker 8: Eh, a fat lot of good that does us now.
- 16:40Speaker 9: Well, authorities on Earth have kept me informed on the
- 16:43Speaker 9: progress of the two domerangi. They got through the first
- 16:47Speaker 9: two projects as easily as you two did.
- 16:49Speaker 2: We already know that. What of it?
- 16:52Speaker 9: Now, this is the delicate part of the whole affair.
- 16:57Speaker 2: I hate to put it into words.
- 16:59Speaker 9: But, in fact, the people on the earth end of
- 17:01Speaker 9: this deal had much the same idea as the Domerangi.
- 17:05Speaker 3: You mean another double cross? They put them to work
- 17:08Speaker 3: on perpetual motion, too?
- 17:10Speaker 9: No, not quite. They rigged up a phony anti-gravity machine
- 17:14Speaker 9: and told them to duplicate it.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Good night. What happened?
- 17:18Speaker 9: Nothing yet. I'm told they're working on it very hard.
- 17:22Speaker 9: Sooner or later... If they're at all as clever as
- 17:25Speaker 9: you two, perhaps they'll hit on it. You'll just have
- 17:28Speaker 9: to be patient and sweat it out until they do,
- 17:31Speaker 9: and we can make an even exchange.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Well, of all the cockeyed situations, you mean we have
- 17:36Speaker 3: to wait until they invent anti-gravity?
- 17:38Speaker 9: Well, that's the general idea. In the meanwhile, as I say,
- 17:42Speaker 9: I will insist that you be shown every courtesy here
- 17:45Speaker 9: on Dumrang.
- 17:46Speaker 5: Well, they may never discover a workable anti-gravity.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Then what happens to us?
- 17:50Speaker 3: Wait a minute, wait a minute.
- 17:51Speaker 9: Miner.
- 17:51Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 17:53Speaker 3: Do you know anything about tensor applications and gravitational fields?
- 17:57Speaker 2: What are you driving at?
- 17:58Speaker 3: I'm thinking of the ideal lab setup they gave us.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Do you think those two dummerangy on Earth would mind
- 18:03Speaker 3: taking credit for someone else's anti-gravity theory if they were
- 18:06Speaker 3: approached properly?
- 18:07Speaker 2: Hey, that's right. They must be as anxious to get
- 18:10Speaker 2: home as we are.
- 18:11Speaker 9: What in the world are you talking about?
- 18:13Speaker 5: Consul, would you be above a bit of smuggling, diplomatic
- 18:17Speaker 5: immunity and all that?
- 18:19Speaker 9: Well, now, I don't know.
- 18:21Speaker 3: We build the anti-gravity machine. You smuggle it to Earth
- 18:25Speaker 3: and slip it to the Dormerangi. Then use it as
- 18:27Speaker 3: a talking point for a trade.
- 18:29Speaker 8: What do you say?
- 18:30Speaker 9: Well, I admit, it does seem the only way out.
- 18:35Speaker 9: Very well, gentlemen, I'll do my very best. But there
