Synopsis for Cliff Cornwall, Special Agent: "War Clouds!"
A newly-invented American antiaircraft apparatus is sought by spies from Karia and Noravia. The device is manufactured at the Dougartin Airplane Factory, and an undercover federal agent is stationed there, as is Nola, the Karian spy. The Norovian spy infiltrates the plant disguised as a night watchman, in a stolen uniform. The U.S. agent, on a date with the Karian agent, trips her down a stairway, where she hits her head, and he steals her concealed camera, then the date continues after she recovers. At the Dougartin plant, the Karian and Noravian agents' cover stories coincidentally cause them to all meet up inside. The Karian agent has left a pistol in place, in the ladies' lounge, and takes control of the scene. The plans are in a safe. The Noravian agent claims to be good at cracking safes, and offers to team up with Nola, just before the U.S. agent punches him off his feet, then grabs and disarms the Karian agent. A squad of federal agents takes charge of the scene.
