Captain Friday and Skip Turner, agents on a special assignment for U.S. military intelligence, rescue a bound and gagged girl, Judith Wright, on a small island off the Pacific coast of Canada. A dying soldier had asked them to take her to Fort Lancer, so they sail to the mainland and ride toward the town. At the livery stable, a stableman knocks Skip unconscious in a box stall, and Captain Friday goes looking for him and for Judith, who has slipped off down the street. The two men follow her into the woods to a lonely cabin, where they look through a window and see Judith apparently placed in a coffin. The story is part of the Adventures by Morse series, first broadcast on January 6, 1944.
With Captain Friday, Skip Turner, Judith Wright, Major Lawrence.
