Air date: Nov 07, 1955

The Communist Chinese government in Beijing arrests and imprisons American English teacher/Presbyterian missionary John Hayes, claiming he is a spy.

When facing the so-called court headed by a supposed friend, he warns that they too will be betrayed by the Communist leaders they're now serving.
