Abstract |
When Steve Wagner, a Mountie (Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman) with German-born parents, learns that the man he has rescued is a German spy, he reveals his sympathies for the Fatherland and sets out to help Col. von Keller complete his mission. The German remains skeptical, however, and demands that Wagner bring along girl friend Laura McBain as a kind of hostage. Wagner then proceeds to lead von Keller and several other German agents to the site of their rendezvous with a bomber that will strike select targets they have identified. But with the mission on the brink of successful completion, what better time for Wagner to show his true colors? |
