Originally Aired: June 28, 1951 Suspense #435, "The Case for Dr Singer," When brilliant physicist Dr. Rudolf Ellman is shot outside the American Embassy in Switzerland and dies after revealing that secrets about America's thermonuclear weapons program are being leaked, the FBI must act quickly. Dr. George Singer, a scientist working on the top-secret H-23 project, is called to security headquarters where Mr. Whiteside from the FBI and General Busher inform him of the crisis. Ellman's dying testimony reveals that someone has been passing detailed information about their thermonuclear research to the Soviets. The information is so accurate and current that the spy must be one of only six people with access to the project: Professor Young, Dr. Singer himself, and four other trusted colleagues. Singer is shocked to learn he's been chosen to help unmask the traitor among his fellow scientists. Despite his protests that all his colleagues are trustworthy, the FBI insists they need someone on the inside to identify the spy before more deadly secrets fall into enemy hands. With national security hanging in the balance, Singer must investigate the very men he works alongside every day.
