What happens
Escape: 142 - The Killer Mine, an episode of the Escape series first broadcast on February 11, 1951, follows Jim Price, a hard rock miner who arrives in Cornwall at the invitation of his old friend Dave Tanner. Tanner is wounded in a shootout and urges Jim to take a mining job with Captain Manic at the Triple Z's mine. Manic offers Jim a large sum to drill through the seabed of an old tin mine so the sea can flood in and be used for smuggling. Jim is pressured into accepting. Once underground, he finds the captain's father, an old miner, is determined to stop the scheme. The story builds toward a dangerous confrontation in the flooded tunnels beneath the sea.

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.
