US-born Peter Grimes speaking in West Berlin after smuggling his two stepdaughters out of Communist East Germany

The transcript narrates the story of Peter Grimes, an American from Massachusetts, who, along with his German-born wife, smuggled her daughters out of the Soviet zone of Germany. The children had been influenced by their communist grandfather, but promises of American movies helped break this indoctrination. After obtaining a Soviet visa, the family stayed longer than planned to win the children's trust. They are now in West Berlin and look forward to returning home.
