What happens

Jerry and Joan are touring Hollywood when a newspaper extra reports two submarines found off Los Angeles Harbor. Joan recognizes a blind street vendor as Thales, one of the Euclidian scientists, and the pair hurry to Mrs. Gregory's home. There Mrs. Gregory and Captain Bradford have a soundproofed radio room, and the group discusses the submarines and Thales. They decide to phone the station at Wilmington. The line seems to be tapped, and an alarm then signals that someone has entered the house. This is the Magic Island series, and the episode's original air date and cast are not given in the transcript.

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.
