The Green Lama
The Man Who Never Existed
by
The Green Lama follows Jethro Dumont, a wealthy American who studied Buddhism in Tibet and returns home with unusual spiritual knowledge and powers. As the Green Lama, he uses those abilities to confront crime and protect people in danger, aided by his associates.
The program brings the character’s pulp-adventure world to radio through dramatic storytelling, with mysteries, peril, and action at its center. Its stories combine crime-fighting with elements of the supernatural and the hero’s distinctive Buddhist philosophy.
The result is an atmospheric adventure series with a different kind of masked hero: one whose strength comes not only from courage and physical skill, but also from discipline and spiritual insight.
