The Man Called X follows Ken Thurston, an American agent who travels the world on assignments for the United States government. With his resourceful assistant, Pegon Zellschmidt, Thurston encounters danger, intrigue, and international mysteries in unfamiliar places.
Each radio adventure blends espionage with action and suspense. Thurston’s work takes him into situations involving secret schemes, suspicious characters, and threats that call for quick thinking as well as courage. The stories use the possibilities of radio to evoke a changing range of locations and perilous encounters, while the central partnership gives the series a steady point of connection.
Herbert Marshall stars as Thurston, bringing a composed, capable presence to the role, while Leon Belasco plays Pegon. The result is a globe-spanning adventure series with a brisk, dramatic tone, suited to listeners who enjoy classic radio mysteries and tales of an agent facing danger far from home.
