An O Henry tale of scams and schemers. A fun program.

A case of mistaken identity puts a con man at the head of the Panamanian army at the turn of the century. His failure as a General lands him in hot water with Panama's enemies.

Very interesting though some of the dialogue was somewhat tiring, but...the ending made it worth it!!

This is an outstanding episode with great dialogue brought to life by some very talented actors. The progression of events holds the listeners interest and never lets go.

This a superb episode with some of the best actors in radio
