The Blue Network is proud to present Philip St. Lord's counters by dramatization, packed with thrills and adventure. A fascinating portrayal of undercover agents working against enemy spies within our borders. All over this great country tonight is an invisible army of men and women highly trained to protect us from professional enemy spies within our borders.

Imagine chief counterspies them all as David the Hireding. In Pittsburgh Henry Hughes, cultured, well-educated, and sophisticated, entered his hotel suite on the seventh floor. Seated before a dressing table in the bedroom was his most attractive wife.

You swine. You insinuating pig. You come in with that stinkly way you have it. I know where you've been at the office. Yes, the office with lipstick all over your car a night after night.

We'll be rich the rest of our lives. Oh, I can't tell you the things I'm doing. Not allowed to. It is a stop-all that killed me. They promised that if I make good on this job, that means a big job over there.
