An independent operator intends to sell them to an Eastern Bloc nation. But the two sides don't trust one another and each is out to gain any advantage it can. The FBI gets a break when a visiting Eastern bloc scientist - who wants to defect to the U.S. - informs the bureau he has been contacted to help verify the plans. But the scientist is injured in a lab accident before he can see the plans. Erskine takes his place and goes undercover. This time out, things will be even more dangerous for the FBI man. He'll have to fake being blind, like the defecting scientist. The scientist is also an accomplished chess player, something that could blow Erskine's cover. Written by Bill Koenig See less
