What happens

Joan Gregory and Jerry, with Mrs. Gregory and Captain Tex Bradford, escape the Magic Island of Euchreria in a stolen submarine and head for Los Angeles. Jerry and Joan discuss the risk of pursuit by the Euclidean scientists, who have been sending directional radio beams to find the missing vessel. Joan explains that the submarine is insulated against Euclidean weapons and can dive deep enough to stay out of reach. The two young people hand over the controls so the adults can rest. Mrs. Gregory and Captain Bradford then take the wheel while the group discusses their plans. The episode ends with a sudden jolt and an attack from the air.

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.
