What happens
Commander Corey and Happy, agents of the Space Patrol, investigate the theft of fuel, liquid air and food from an emergency space platform near Mars. Their automatic camera may reveal the thieves' ship, but the criminals fire a jacketed projectile at the platform to disguise their attack as a meteor strike. Corey and Happy survive by sealing a compartment and then donning spacesuits to reach the camera. The episode belongs to the Space Patrol radio series; the original air date is July 4, 1953, and the broadcast is introduced with its standard opening as a live adventure.

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.
