What happens

George Valentine is hired by Mrs. Craig to find her husband Stanley, who disappeared on Friday's Island in the Pacific during a vacation flight. Stanley left the plane deliberately, claiming he had business to attend to, but Mrs. Craig fears he may be involved with a communist organization called "the group" operating on the island. George arrives on Friday's Island with his assistant Roxy and immediately encounters a mysterious man named Nicholas Grand who demands the message George is carrying from someone named Kestier.

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.
