The novel by Jules Verne adapted for radio in eight parts by Howard Jones
Professor von Hardwigg, a German scientist, finds a message in cypher written by Ame Saknussem, a sixteenth-century alchemist. The professor's nephew Harry Lawson hits upon the key to the cypher and learns how Saknussem had descended into the crater of an extinct volcano in Iceland, and thus penetrated to the centre of the earth. Accompanied by a guide, the professor and his nephew set out to make the same journey.
