Friday, July 5 - The Human Jungle: The 24-Hour Man


Alvar Bell is the captain of a water bus on the River Thames. Dr Corder's secretary senses something is wrong with him when she took a boat ride with her son.

Alvar nearly crashes the boat. After Alvar is coaxed to see Dr Corder he loses his job. His boss found out that Alvar had been to see a psychiatrist.

An angry and out of control Alvar attacks Dr Corder thinking that he is to blame. It was in fact Alvar's fellow workmate Robson.

Dr Corder finds out that Alvar is suffering from exhaustion and surviving on uppers. He has been working almost 24 hours a day to support his family and pay the mortgage.

In the evening Alvar plays piano at a jazz club, his real passion and vocation.
