Ransom Drop (1x10)

Air date: Nov 29, 1961

Kidnappers hold electronicist Brandon Oliver hostage and demand a special ransom: Brandon Oliver's highly valuable new gadget. Ted McKeever can't understand why pretty Dana Oliver demands his company prove they can drop a crate of eggs by parachute without cracking a shell. When Ted's team demonstrates its capabilities, she reveals the reason for her strange request - she wants Ted, Jim and Chuck to airdrop a top-secret and extremely fragile missile instrument to ransom her father who is being held prisoner in the mountains by technology-savvy kidnappers.
