What happens
Ken Thurston, working for the government, searches for William Crile, a witness who can convict the foreign agent John Verlander. Crile has fled to Ecuador, and Verlander's gunmen are hunting him too. Ken follows the trail from New York to Guayaquil, where he meets Carla O'Riner, a suspicious woman who claims a dead man was found in a closet. Ken and his companion Pagon track Crile to an island in the Galapagos. Herbert Marshall stars in this episode of The Man Called X, broadcast on NBC on March 24, 1951.

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.
