Every year Monica and her family have vacationed on the Greek Island and have traveled there on the little time worn ferry called the Sara Belle. Mike has captained the ferry and every year has looked forward to seeing ‘Niccy. Now that Mike has got his Engineering degree she is looking forward to them getting married. However Mike took his degree in philosophy and Monica thinks he has thrown away their chance to become independent and have money.

Theatre-Five was a radio drama series, presented by ABC between 1964 and 1965. The series used an anthology format, presenting a number of short radio plays across a number of genres, a number of which reflected topical issues contemporary with its airing.

Writers for the show varied, as did actors, although a principal cast included George O. Petrie, Brett Morrison, Jackson Beck, Robert Dryden, Elliott Reid, Court Benson, Cliff Carpenter, and Bryna Raeburn. The show's 1965 run featured several well-known actors, including an early role for James Earl Jones (Incident on US 1), a pre-M*A*S*H Alan Alda (A Bad Day's Work), and Ed Begley (The Pigeon) three years after his Academy Award win. Another Theatre-Five actor was Romeo Muller,[1] who also wrote stories for the series[2] but who became best known for his work with Rankin/Bass Productions such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
