The Green Goddess - Orson Welles Campbell Playhouse

The Green Goddess aired on March 10, 1939.

Set in a remote and fictional Himalayan kingdom, The Green Goddess is a tale of imperial tension, cultural collision, and survival.

A British airplane carrying Major Crespin, his wife Lucilla, and Dr. Traherne crash-lands near the palace of a local Raja, the ruler of an isolated and exotic Eastern state. The Raja — played with wit and menace by Orson Welles — receives them graciously, but beneath his polite exterior lies a cunning, vengeful man with a deep resentment of British colonialism.
