WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.000 Tired of the everyday grind? 00:04.000 --> 00:10.000 Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? 00:10.000 --> 00:14.000 Wanna get away from it all? 00:14.000 --> 00:16.000 We offer you... 00:16.000 --> 00:18.000 Escape! 00:18.000 --> 00:28.000 Escape! Designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure. 00:28.000 --> 00:48.000 You are a farmer, peacefully working the soil, planting your crops. 00:48.000 --> 00:56.000 While above you, deadly as a vulture, a man is descending who will carry you away to his lair. 00:56.000 --> 01:02.000 A place from which there is no escape. 01:02.000 --> 01:10.000 So listen now, as escape brings you Stacy O'Monnier's exciting story, A Source of Irritation. 01:10.000 --> 01:38.000 You know, whenever the talk turns to the last war and who won it between the correspondents of the overseas press club on Fleet Street, it becomes a hot two-way fight between the Americans and the Englishmen. 01:38.000 --> 01:44.000 Myself, I'm a shy man, I keep out of it and order myself a shot of Benedictine and brandy. 01:44.000 --> 01:51.000 But privately I have my own candidate. You can take it for what it's worth, but I'd nominate old Sam Gates. 01:51.000 --> 02:07.000 I know about Sam because I had occasion to cover the story for the Times. 02:07.000 --> 02:20.000 It was during the days of the Blitzkrieg, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium had already fallen before the German Panzer divisions and the British Expeditionary Force was doing its grim best to help out in France. 02:20.000 --> 02:34.000 Old Sam Gates was on Mr. Dodger's farm in Halvorsham, hoeing turnips, waiting for his niece Aggie, who arrived twice daily at dawn and at tea time with his parcel of food. 02:34.000 --> 02:50.000 Hello, Uncle. Oh, hello Aggie. Well, Uncle, is there any news? You asked me the same question yesterday. Did I? Yes, I'm the day before that. Well, it's another day. Any news today? 02:50.000 --> 03:04.000 News? What do you want, girl? What news should there be? Well, no harm asking. You have my food. Here you are, Uncle. We cut open a new cheese for you. Well, I'll have a taste of it right now. 03:04.000 --> 03:25.000 Did you hear Mrs. Cobing's foal got out last night? And Mr. Dodge wants you to kill another pig tomorrow. Oh, look. It's an aeroplane, Uncle. I've got ears. Bloody nuisances of the war, these aeroplanes. Hours and theirs. 03:25.000 --> 03:39.000 Uncle, did you know that Mrs. Hardwick's nephew Clarence has joined up? He's flying a Spitfire. Ha! Well, I knew he'd never amount to much. Well, Mrs. Hardwick says that... Aggie girl, the cows need milking. 03:39.000 --> 04:02.000 All right, Uncle. You needn't get cross. I'm going. Yeah. Bloody morning. If it ain't the girl, it's the aeroplanes. 04:02.000 --> 04:14.000 Well, old Sam Gates went back to hoeing his turnips and muttering to himself about this fool world and its inhabitants. But it wasn't an hour later that his thoughts were interrupted by another plane overhead. 04:14.000 --> 04:26.000 He waited for it to go away, but it didn't. And what he heard made him look up, startled. A plane was coming down with a Nazi swastika clearly marked on its side. And it was coming down on his field. 04:26.000 --> 04:42.000 Hey, hey there. This ain't no flying field. Stop. Hey, don't you hear me? You can't land in them turnips. I just hold them. Hey, you. You there. 04:42.000 --> 04:52.000 Oh, you've kicked up 25 yards of Mr. Dodgy's good Swedes. And what are you going to do about it? Well, grandfather, stand back there where you are, I'll shoot. 04:52.000 --> 05:00.000 You have no right to come barging in here with that gun. What are you doing on English soil anyways? 05:00.000 --> 05:10.000 Another word and I finish you. Keep your hands in the air and walk to me. Schnell, be quick. 05:10.000 --> 05:17.000 Now what do you want of me? No questions. Closer. 05:17.000 --> 05:27.000 There. No. Paul. Paul Juppé. Hitler. 05:27.000 --> 05:31.000 I'll Hitler me foot. I'm not much in favor of Mr. Hitler. 05:31.000 --> 05:39.000 What are you talking about? I ain't no one called Joe Pierre. And what's more, I don't want to be. 05:39.000 --> 05:48.000 One moment. My beard ain't for tugging. You've been gone and lost your mind. 05:48.000 --> 05:59.000 You. What is your name? Sam Gates. Who are you? Nevermind. Lie down. Keep your face in the ground. 05:59.000 --> 06:15.000 You going to shoot me? I suppose I have to. 06:15.000 --> 06:21.000 Old Sam Gates did as he was told, and the pilot went to work on the engine of this photo reconnaissance plane. 06:21.000 --> 06:25.000 He located his trouble in a clogged fuel line and had it prepared in a few minutes. 06:25.000 --> 06:32.000 Then he looked at the old man and smiled grimly. You old man. Get in the plane. 06:32.000 --> 06:41.000 What are you talking about? I ain't imitating fish nor birds. A man's two feet belong on the ground and that's where mine is staying. 06:41.000 --> 07:02.000 No discussion. Get in or I shoot. What do you want me for? Get in. You're going back with me. 07:02.000 --> 07:08.000 What is the matter, old grim father? You're so pale. What if I am? 07:08.000 --> 07:14.000 I ain't been in the hands of a madman before. I want to be set down this minute. 07:14.000 --> 07:21.000 I can't be flying about the country with poeing still to do and Mr. Dodgy's carnips only half thinned. 07:21.000 --> 07:28.000 Turn it. What's that noise from? Your Englishmen. They are shooting at us. 07:28.000 --> 07:49.000 Better say your prayers, grim father. I've been praying but I can't decide whether I want the Almighty to strike you down or save me. 07:49.000 --> 07:55.000 The right wing tip shot away. The fuselage rent with holes as big as a man's fist. 07:55.000 --> 08:00.000 The Nazi reconnaissance plane nevertheless remained miraculously aloft. 08:00.000 --> 08:06.000 Nader Haussmann, the pilot, nor old Sam Gates was hurt. Sam was being spared for other things. 08:06.000 --> 08:10.000 Within minutes they had crossed the channel and were gliding downwards. 08:10.000 --> 08:15.000 Sam knew by the roofs of the houses, the trees and streams that he was in a foreign country. 08:15.000 --> 08:19.000 When they landed, Sam found himself behind German lines in France. 08:19.000 --> 08:28.000 The swastikas, the sea of unfamiliar faces shouting at each other in heathen gibberish, filled the old man with a strange dread. 08:28.000 --> 08:38.000 But he made up his mind to stick it through as he walked stiffly in front of the pilot's prodding pistol until they reached a zinc roofed building and went in. 08:38.000 --> 08:48.000 Oh yeah. I'm going as fast as I can. That airplane ride shook me up a bit. 08:48.000 --> 08:50.000 Heil Hitler. Heil Hitler. 08:50.000 --> 08:53.000 Captain Haussmann to see Geriolf von Schlegel. 08:53.000 --> 08:56.000 General is occupied, Herr Captain. I must see him. Tomorrow morning. 08:56.000 --> 09:00.000 It is a matter of extreme urgency. Take me to him immediately. 09:00.000 --> 09:20.000 Very well, Herr Captain. Herr Captain Haussmann, Herr General. 09:20.000 --> 09:24.000 Get the pipe out of your mouth. Stand at attention, Grimmfotter. 09:24.000 --> 09:26.000 Heil Hitler. Heil Hitler. 09:26.000 --> 09:30.000 Now what is the meaning of this Haussmann? Who is this old farmer? 09:30.000 --> 09:33.000 I brought him from England, Herr General. 09:33.000 --> 09:35.000 Haussmann, have you gone mad? 09:35.000 --> 09:50.000 That he has. Mad as a march hair. Without a bite or leave he comes, hundering out of the sky, kicking up 25 yards of good turnips and snatches me from the honest toil to go flying off with him. 09:50.000 --> 09:56.000 Quiet you. Dear General, please look at him closely. 09:56.000 --> 10:01.000 What do you expect me to see, Haussmann? 10:01.000 --> 10:03.000 Oh no. 10:03.000 --> 10:05.000 Paul Jopper. 10:05.000 --> 10:25.000 I never heard of any Paul Jopper. My name is Sam Gates, and as much as your flying machine grinds a man's bones to dust, I'll expect you to have one deliver me safe and sound to Mr. Dodgy's farm on my native soil. Or the king will hear of this. 10:25.000 --> 10:27.000 This is not Paul? 10:27.000 --> 10:37.000 No, Herr General. Jopper is now a gardener at the Convent of St. Eloise at my atonement. 100 feet from British Field Headquarters in Perth. 10:37.000 --> 10:42.000 I know where he is supposed to be. What is the point of all this, Haussmann? 10:42.000 --> 10:52.000 Well, Paul Jopper has practically become the eyes and ears of the German army. He delivered us the complete blueprints of the marginal line and he removed the England Haussmann. 10:52.000 --> 10:58.000 You do not have to sing Paul's praises to me. I am well aware he is the best spy in the Third Reich. 10:58.000 --> 11:11.000 The Englanders know that too. They put a reward of 10,000 pounds on his head. Twice they have captured him and each time he has slipped from their fingers. They've gone so fast to distribute his photograph to all commanding officers in their states. 11:11.000 --> 11:17.000 Haussmann, you are pondering the obvious. Now what about this old farmer? 11:17.000 --> 11:23.000 He and Paul Jopper are exact identical in appearance. 11:23.000 --> 11:27.000 What? 11:27.000 --> 11:43.000 I don't want to go in front of all of you here, but suppose Herr General, they found the dead body of Paul Jopper. 11:43.000 --> 11:47.000 Haussmann, you may have something there. 11:47.000 --> 11:57.000 I am certain of it. Put Greenfatter in one of our uniforms with Jopper's identity card in his pocket and allow the Englanders to find him dead behind our lines. 11:57.000 --> 12:07.000 Excellent. The English will spread the word of Paul's death to the other allies and the real Paul Jopper will be free to continue his labors undisturbed. 12:07.000 --> 12:10.000 Haussmann, you are a clever man. 12:10.000 --> 12:11.000 Danke Herr General. 12:11.000 --> 12:17.000 Do not worry Haussmann. Word of this will reach the Fuhrer himself. 12:17.000 --> 12:24.000 But now we do not have a moment to lose. The English are attacking Hill 701, which we are abandoning within the hour to straighten our lines. 12:24.000 --> 12:27.000 The perfect place for our little plan. 12:27.000 --> 12:29.000 The Corporal Leutnant shoots with you. 12:29.000 --> 12:30.000 Ja mein Herr. 12:30.000 --> 12:35.000 Keep the farm at the front lines until the order for retreat is given. 12:35.000 --> 12:42.000 Then shoot him, but do not disfigure him and be sure to lay him out face upwards. 12:42.000 --> 12:44.000 I understand, Herr Fritz. 12:44.000 --> 12:47.000 Proceed immediately Haussmann. Heil Hitler. 12:47.000 --> 12:49.000 Heil Hitler. 12:49.000 --> 13:05.000 And then old Sam was forced into a Nazi officer's field uniform, a helmet placed on his head, and before he knew where he was going he found himself at the front. 13:05.000 --> 13:12.000 Look, my legs are aching. When am I going back to my tornad? 13:12.000 --> 13:15.000 You'll be back to the soil quite soon. 13:15.000 --> 13:16.000 Herr Captain. 13:16.000 --> 13:19.000 We are in the forward area now and the retreat has started. 13:19.000 --> 13:22.000 Well, I ain't going no further. 13:22.000 --> 13:26.000 No, you're not about to take me back to Mr. Dodgers farm. 13:26.000 --> 13:33.000 And it makes no difference to me whether you shoot me or I get blown to bitsies by one of them exploding things. 13:33.000 --> 13:38.000 No, I'll have me a last pipe full of tobacco either way. 13:38.000 --> 13:43.000 Oh, dread it. This bucket of tin keeps falling over my eyes. 13:43.000 --> 13:46.000 Keep moving and keep that helmet on your head. 13:46.000 --> 13:48.000 Down! 13:50.000 --> 13:56.000 Herr Captain, that was too close. They have the range. Let us shoot him and get out of here. 13:56.000 --> 14:04.000 Yeah. All right, grandfather, you can have your pipe full of smoke now. Are you ready, Schutt? 14:04.000 --> 14:05.000 I'm ready. 14:05.000 --> 14:18.000 Fire! 14:18.000 --> 14:21.000 We will return to escape in just a moment. 14:21.000 --> 14:28.000 But first, answering the call of the sick and the distressed at home and at the battlefield is the job of the Red Cross. 14:28.000 --> 14:35.000 This month, the Red Cross is asking for contributions to carry on this wonderful work for another year. 14:35.000 --> 14:38.000 Can we do less than answer the call ourselves? 14:38.000 --> 14:42.000 Give as much as you can to the American Red Cross. 14:42.000 --> 15:01.000 And now, back to escape. 15:01.000 --> 15:09.000 That same day, the sun was hot in the midday sky as an hour later a forward patrol of English Tommies rounded Hill 701 15:09.000 --> 15:19.000 and saw the bodies of Lieutenant Schutt, Captain Hausman, and behind a rock, old Sam Gates, lying with his pipe still in his hand. 15:19.000 --> 15:22.000 They were about to move on when the corporal coming up from the rear stopped them. 15:22.000 --> 15:26.000 Hold on a minute. What's up, Court? We've got to get back to battalion headquarters. 15:26.000 --> 15:28.000 The one there with the pipe seems to be breathing. 15:28.000 --> 15:31.000 Leave him to the aid boys. They'll be along in a bit. 15:31.000 --> 15:36.000 Right, old sergeant, but he might be a pretty big fish. That's headquarters insignia he's wearing. 15:36.000 --> 15:40.000 All right, Simpson, see if we can bring him around. We'll have to be quick about it. 15:40.000 --> 15:48.000 Yeah, the sun must have struck me down. Give me an awful set of dreams. 15:48.000 --> 15:50.000 Oh, my poor Red. 15:50.000 --> 16:12.000 Can't make out what he's saying. Come on, give him a hand. Get him up. We've got to get a move on. 16:12.000 --> 16:14.000 Is this the prisoner sergeant? 16:14.000 --> 16:15.000 Yes, sir. 16:15.000 --> 16:19.000 He's a bit shaken, but otherwise he's all right, sir. Seems to understand English. 16:19.000 --> 16:20.000 Name? 16:20.000 --> 16:22.000 Sam Gates. 16:22.000 --> 16:23.000 Rank? 16:23.000 --> 16:25.000 Don't know what you're talking about. 16:25.000 --> 16:27.000 Rank, army rank. 16:27.000 --> 16:33.000 I've nothing to do with any armies. You mind telling me where the devil I am? 16:33.000 --> 16:37.000 He speaks English like a native. Your identification card, please. 16:37.000 --> 16:40.000 Zichtiner identification card. 16:40.000 --> 16:45.000 Look here, what are you talking Nazi for? You're an Englishman, same as I am. 16:45.000 --> 16:46.000 Search him, sergeant. 16:46.000 --> 16:47.000 Yes, sir. 16:47.000 --> 16:50.000 Here you are, sir. 16:50.000 --> 16:52.000 Thank you, sergeant. 16:52.000 --> 16:56.000 Well, the master spy himself, Paul Luper. 16:56.000 --> 16:59.000 You won't get away from us this time, Paul. 16:59.000 --> 17:01.000 Has the whole world gone daft? 17:01.000 --> 17:06.000 My name is Sam Gates and I was christened so by me maiden Aunt Christina. 17:06.000 --> 17:10.000 And I'm no Paul Joe Pier and I never was. 17:10.000 --> 17:12.000 Good show, Paul. Good show. 17:12.000 --> 17:18.000 My name ain't Paul. I can tell you where I was born and bred and who my wife is. 17:18.000 --> 17:23.000 Yes, I'm sure you've got your story worked out to the last detail, but it won't do you a bit of good. 17:23.000 --> 17:28.000 You were tried by our court-martial September last and the verdict still holds. 17:28.000 --> 17:30.000 You're going to be executed as soon as possible. 17:30.000 --> 17:32.000 Make out the order of execution, lieutenant. 17:32.000 --> 17:33.000 Yes, sir. 17:33.000 --> 17:37.000 And you better take the staff car and run down to division headquarters and have general Kantrath sign it. 17:37.000 --> 17:41.000 We really don't have much time, sir. The battalion has orders to move forward. 17:41.000 --> 17:43.000 Can't you proceed on your own authority? 17:43.000 --> 17:48.000 Not with general Kantrath. He worked his way up through the ranks and he never quite got over it. 17:48.000 --> 17:53.000 Yes, sir. He doesn't like it much if you get your officer's commission out of the university. I know. 17:53.000 --> 17:57.000 And in particular, he's never forgiven me for having graduated from Oxford. 17:57.000 --> 18:00.000 Well, capturing DuPere is going to be quite a feather in your cap, sir. 18:00.000 --> 18:03.000 Yes. Well, get going, lieutenant. 18:03.000 --> 18:07.000 The general wants to witness the execution. Tell him we'll be over at the bombed out farmhouse. 18:07.000 --> 18:11.000 Yes, sir. 18:28.000 --> 18:30.000 Squad, halt! 18:30.000 --> 18:36.000 Now, there won't be any delay, men. Sergeant, corporal, advance the prisoners of the war. 18:36.000 --> 18:40.000 Keep your rifles, Clarkson. Yes, sir. Right, sir. 18:46.000 --> 18:51.000 Hold, DuPere. Have you anything to say before the sentence is executed? 18:51.000 --> 18:57.000 My name is Sam Gates, and if I was 20 years younger, I'd give you a punch in the ruddy eye. 18:57.000 --> 19:03.000 Why, you had me guilty before I opened my mouth. You can go to bloody blue blazes. 19:03.000 --> 19:07.000 Oh, very well. Is there any last request you have to make? 19:07.000 --> 19:13.000 Ah, I want to smoke out a last pipe full of tobacco in peace and quiet. 19:13.000 --> 19:17.000 And I don't want none of that white clout blinding me eyes. 19:17.000 --> 19:20.000 Request granted. Beg your pardon, sir, but the general's living up. 19:20.000 --> 19:23.000 All right, sergeant. 19:24.000 --> 19:29.000 All right, Mawsley, what's this all about? Is that Paul DuPere? 19:29.000 --> 19:33.000 Yes, sir. My most remarkable man. He not only bothered to learn English, 19:33.000 --> 19:36.000 but he even went to the trouble of mastering our local dialects. 19:36.000 --> 19:41.000 He calls himself Sam Gates. He had me fooled at first, sir, but I kept after the sentence. 19:41.000 --> 19:45.000 Bring the prisoner here. Right, sir. But I'm afraid you won't get much out of him. 19:45.000 --> 19:50.000 He sticks to his own story. Sergeant, march the prisoner forward. 19:50.000 --> 19:55.000 Say your name is Sam Gates. 19:55.000 --> 19:59.000 It is. And if you had any sense, you'd believe me. 19:59.000 --> 20:04.000 I was minding my business, owing Mr. Dodgy's turnips in Alversham, 20:04.000 --> 20:08.000 when this daft aviator comes swooping down in his aeroplane, 20:08.000 --> 20:12.000 tearing up good sweets, and he snatches me away with him. 20:12.000 --> 20:17.000 Kidnapped, eh? And how did you manage to get into a Nazi officer's uniform? 20:17.000 --> 20:22.000 Explain that. Oh, they was hatching something, that's what. 20:22.000 --> 20:27.000 They forced me to wear tin bucket and green soldier suits, 20:27.000 --> 20:30.000 and made me go along with them. Aren't we wasting time, sir? 20:30.000 --> 20:33.000 We found DuPere's identification card in his pocket. 20:33.000 --> 20:37.000 I told you they was hatching something. They put it in my pocket. 20:37.000 --> 20:42.000 How much do you expect us to believe? Oh, I don't ask you to believe anything at all. 20:42.000 --> 20:44.000 We'll get to the truth soon enough. 20:44.000 --> 20:48.000 Where were you born?
