John and Cordelia are put under armed guard awaiting the captains orders. The only alternative for the captain is to kill John and Cordelia since the captain exposed the plans to take down a space shuttle. The SOS radio call that John made was overheard and the Macao authorities mentioned that Mannering got on the freight ship so the US authorities are now interested to see why the mystery. Mannering sees that his time may be nearly up and decides to try to make a break and the ships destination seems like the best option for escape. But first they have to elude the captors. On the island, the crew of the freight get to their intended purpose all while still sending out search parties for John and Cordelia. Mannering needs to find a way to thwart the plans of the captain and saves the lives of the astronauts in the space capsule. How will they be able to do it?
Personal Synopsis
The second episode in the two part series has all the elements of a great mystery. Its easy to see why ITC edited these episodes together for Baron movie. It great to see a show with ships, a rogue captain, the US space program and a hunt on a remote island. Brilliant!
