What happens
Space Patrol commander Buzz Corry and his companion Happy search the Saturn mountains for a missing scientist, Byron Stearns, whose transmitter has gone silent. Their search leads them to the deserted city of Rubek, built centuries ago by space pioneer Lucian Rubek. Inside, they find a treasure room and are fired upon by a armed man. Buzz and Happy are cornered and forced to hide in a dark passage. The episode aired on March 28, 1953, as part of the Space Patrol series, with Ed Kemmer as Commander Corry, and this part of the story sets up a mystery about why the city seems to be occupied.

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.
