What happens
David Harding, a chief counterspy, tracks Nazi agents who slip into Texas by plane from a hidden ranch in Mexico. Posing as a wealthy visitor, he helps the Army locate the route by spotting high-frequency lights hidden in chimneys along the flight path. At the ranch he meets the owners, a German couple who appear to be Nazi sympathizers, and other guests whose true loyalties are unclear. A murder occurs at the house, and Harding and his assistant Kelly must work out who is responsible. This episode of the Counterspy series aired on June 22, 1942, on the Blue Network, starring Philip H. Lord's production cast.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
