Corey and Happy uncover a suspicious assistant, Drober, and a mysterious new partner, Holst, while following the clues to the missing water. The episode is an early instalment of Space Patrol, an old-time radio series first broadcast on April 4, 1953.

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.
