The Fifth Horseman is a short series of eight shows produced to convince the American public to accept a plan to put all nuclear weapons under United Nations control.  To the biblical story of the Apocalypse, writer and director Arnold Marquis added, "A Fifth Horseman: The threat of the Atom."  This short but very well presented series dramatizes the dangers of Atomic War.
