From IMDB: A female journalist seems to suddenly have access to secret information about ballistic missile research being conducted at a nearby university. Concern grows over who the leak is and what she plans to do with the information. The truth turns out to be far stranger than anyone ever expected.

Truman Bradley provides a wonderful demonstration on the subject of microwaves and the way they're used to transmit everything from data to music. It's very entertaining.

Then the story begins. The cast includes veteran sci-fi actors Morris Ankrum and Thomas B. Henry, as well as Peter Hansen — who frequently appears in this series as scientists, doctors, etc. Hansen was the doctor in When Worlds Collide.

Ruth Hussey, the lovely lady who starred in The Uninvited, is a journalist who begins to walk in her sleep while apparently lecturing on the subject of intercontinental ballistic missiles. She even sits at her bedroom dressing table and writes down the top secret information!

Watch for a wonderfully weird scene in which Mr. Hanson is discussing his work on a ballistic missile with a colleague . . . while Ruth walks in her sleep and echoes everything he's saying!

The editing is terrific. The scene is wonderfully spooky.

After Hanson and his colleagues perform and unsuccessful experiment in a laboratory to learn how she's been getting the classified info, they eventually discover that when Hanson and Miss Hussy are located in the right locations (her bedroom and his laboratory) they can hear each others thoughts perfectly!

Trust me guys, you have to watch this skillfully made episode to fully appreciate the highly enjoyable story!
