In this original drama co-written by Steven Brown and Michael Ullstrup, two young American women, in 1942, are recruited into the man’s world of cloak-and-dagger espionage to uncover the reasons behind the Nazi’s U-boat probing of the North American East Coast.
The women are sent to spy school in Virginia where they face rigorous training in hand-to-hand combat, small weapons, and the use of poisons and special devices. They are secreted to Germany by land, sea, and air avoiding the ever present Gestapo and take on undercover roles at a German naval base.
Working with a mole, they discover the Nazi plot to send a u-boat up the Potomac River and deliver Nazi agents to put a bomb in the Capitol of the United States when President Roosevelt is giving his State-of-the-Union address. The women make a daring escape with these secret documents under Gestapo gunfire by flying a plane out of Germany to the safety of England. The Nazis never had a chance to derail America’s war efforts due to the courage, patriotism, and sacrifice of the women of the OSS, The Office of Strategic Services, which later became the C.I.A.
