What happens
Commander Buzz Corey and Cadet Happy investigate a criminal in a laboratory on Mars. Dr. Skarno, a scientist who discovered that star drive ships can travel back through time, is taken aboard a patrol ship while Buzz and Happy hunt Phil Bristol, who is believed to hold a chest of pirate treasure brought forward from the sixteenth century. The Space Patrol tracks Bristol to Lowell City, where his associate Orman Denson denies knowing him until ancient Spanish coins suggest otherwise. The episode is an installment of the Space Patrol radio series, first aired on February 26, 1955, on the American Broadcasting Company network.
A laboratory in Lowell City on the planet Mars, and a star drive ship travelling through space and time.

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.
