Transcript

Harding, Counter-Spy. The new network presents Philip's H-Lard's Counter-Spy. A Counter-Spy is the United States undercover agent whose duty it is to smash the professional enemy spies operating in our midst.

Imagine the Ace Counter-Spy of them all as David Harding. Those are the footsteps of Liza Gutt as she walks along the narrow rocky path which runs on top of a high cliff, looking out over the sea.

On the northern coast of Maine, 42 years ago, Liza got married, Mark got her husband, sailed away, and was drowned. For 41 years, Liza got his kept a little kerosene lantern, lived on her front porch.

So just in case Mark should return, he'd see the lighted lantern from the sea, and know who she was waiting. Well, Liza got his wearing her little house on the top of the cliff where she stays alone.

Liza sees something, something on her front porch. She can see it with a light of a lantern. That's funny. I didn't leave nothing on the front porch. It looks like a man. It is a man.

What are you doing on my front porch? Oh. Wake up. I said what you do and lying on my front porch. Oh, I... I was just lying here. I'm exhausted. Guess I fell asleep. You're a stranger.

Yes. I had an arrowscape. I landed here in a lifeboat. So your lantern lit, so I came up here. When I found nobody was in, I was too tired to go anywhere else. What happened to you?

Oh, I was in a small Norwegian lumber schooner. There were five of us. Just off the whole shoewheaves. We were torpedoed. I got the lifeboat over alone. The others were killed in the blast. I was way after. I'd have been killed too.
