The Adventures of Rocky Jordan
Smoke Screen
par
Rocky Jordan is an American adventurer living in Cairo, where his café, the Café Tambourine, places him at the crossroads of the city’s many visitors and intrigues. Played by Jack Moyles, Rocky is a resourceful, worldly figure whose business often brings him into contact with people caught up in danger or deception.
The program is a dramatic adventure series built around Rocky’s encounters in and around Cairo. Episodes draw on the atmosphere of an international city, with mysteries, personal conflicts, and peril unfolding through dialogue, sound effects, and a cast of supporting voices. Rocky’s café serves as a natural meeting place, connecting everyday conversation with the more dangerous situations that develop around him.
Its appeal lies in the blend of detective-style suspense and exotic setting, carried by a steady central character rather than a single ongoing mystery. “Smoke Screen” is presented here as an episode of the series, offering a self-contained radio drama shaped by its Cairo backdrop and Rocky’s calm, capable presence.
