In The Magnus Beam Captain Crane is sent (or he's volunteered-we are never told)undercover to a Middle Eastern dictatorship in the hopes of finding out what kind of weaponry is downing our U-2 spy planes and might feasably begin a new world war.Crane's contact, Gary Richmond is killed, but had managed to tell Crane to seek out a singer in town. Crane grabs the dead man's robes and heads to town, dodging the secret police, and trying to find the damn place.
He is helped by a man who is later revealed to be Major Amadi...and reluctantly agrees to send him to Seaview, while Luana arranges a meeting with one of the underground, Abdul Azzizi.
But the secret police have been informed by Amadi and Crane is captured. Meanwhile Nelson is suspicious of Amadi who will 'lead' Seaview to the underground base and what follows is a suspensful 'leave me alone til the show's over' episode. Catfish
