The story

Federal agent Belden is assigned to locate the communist mastermind behind the leak, and to trace all avenues of informational access utilized by the Communists. Professor Albert Kafer is the space-weapons scientist who is being forced by the Soviets into cooperating with them, as his son is under threat, while Alexi Laschenkov is the top Eastern-Bloc spy. Using state of the art technology, such as an early miniature video camera, and ingenious methods like a roomful of foreign language lip readers, the G-men crack the case and with the help of the US Coast Guard rescue the professor before he can be spirited away by submarine.
