Today's program is an episode of Orson Welles' series Hello, Americans. This was a wartime program designed to foster good relations among the Americas and it primarily featured Welles teaching facts about South American countries in a fun way. But for Christmas, Welles came up with a full narrative, something quite different; it concerns an American businessman travelling in South America who refuses to give up his seat on an airplane to a child who wants to go home for Christmas. From then on, everywhere he goes, the businessman is followed by a man known only as "Señor" who seems to be silently judging him.
"The Bad Will Ambassador" originally aired December 27, 1942.
