Episode Summary:
The lovely Margo Lane needs an Easter Bonnet that matches her own loveliness. She knows exactly what she wants, a beige hat, with a white bird’s wing and a pair of deep red cherries. )Let’s just be glad this is a radio program, that hat sounds awful.) She finds this exact bonnet at a small haberdashery. The cost is $75. Lamont does his chauvinist, patronizing best to dissuade her. Margot insists,
But what she didn’t know is that as a bonus the hat comes with the nation’s atomic secrets. The design of the hat was a code that Lamont and Margo stumbled onto. It turns out that if you accidentally sell atomic codes to the wrong party, well, lets just say that the haberdasher will be . . . closed. Lamont and Margo track down the real spies. Margot is kidnapped once or twice (honestly I lose track of the number of times she gets captured.) A chase ensues on a train, and they save the country. All in time for Easter.
