"Passenger to Bali" is a very strange episode of "Studio One"...not necessarily bad but strange indeed and unlike any other installment I've seen!
Mr. Walkes (Barry Kroeger) is a strange passenger on a steamer headed for Bali, Indonesia. While he claims to be a missionary, he seems odd and manipulative. As they are nearing Bali, the Captain learns that Walkes is a phoney...no missionary and a man who is reviled in the South Pacific. It seems that where ever he goes, trouble follows! In fact, ports won't even allow the ship to dock provided Walkes is aboard! And, after a while, it begins to feel as if the ship is Walkes' prisoner!
"A Passenger to Bali" is pretty good...but there is one huge problem with the copy I saw on Roku. The vocal track is WAY out of sync with the video...by at least 30 seconds! It made viewing the show difficult, naturally, and unless you can find a correctly working copy you might want to skip this one.
