What happens
Colonel Guy Baker, a British officer newly given command of a rocket testing group at Mandrake Forest, is warned that enemy agents will target him and his work. Shortly after arriving, he finds his London flat ransacked and a prisoner of war has escaped nearby. At the Red Lion inn he is confronted in his room by Ferdy Schatz, his old friend from before the war, who claims to be working for military intelligence. Baker, distrusting him, struggles with Ferdy and fires at him. The episode is part of the Escape series, first broadcast on April 15, 1954, and its lead actor is John Dehner.

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.
