In this gripping episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater, we delve into the story of "The Book of Avaca," a mysterious and potentially world-changing manuscript. The narrative unfolds with the sinking of the Abaca, a tanker carrying 3,000,000 gallons of oil, leading to an environmental catastrophe. Captain Bauer, burdened by guilt and responsibility, entrusts the ship's logbook to his engineer, Karn, before succumbing to the sea. This logbook holds the key to exposing the negligence and corruption of the ship's owners, the Tarrier Corporation.
As the story progresses, we follow the dangerous aftermath of the Abaca's sinking. Karn, the chief engineer, becomes a target for those who wish to suppress the truth. A professional hitman, Porky Adams, is hired to retrieve the logbook, leading to a deadly confrontation. Lieutenant Foster and Officer Leoni work tirelessly to uncover the conspiracy, ultimately finding the logbook through a serendipitous mistake. This episode explores themes of justice, corporate greed, and the power of truth, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats.
