This is the first episode and pilot of the intended series Journey into Fear, and is titled Seller's Market. In the pilot, we find the lead character of Dr. Howard Graham, a 35 year old scientist (played by Jeffrey Hunter) is employed by the Special Executive Coordination (SEC) unit, one of the secret parts of the CIA. Serving in the SEC, Dr. Graham's function is to verify intelligence information with on-site field evaluations. Consequently, Dr. Graham and another SEC agent (Sally Ann Howes) are sent to San Rosario, the capital of a fictitious Central American state. The two SEC operatives, posing as husband and wife arrive in San Rosario, and register in the city central hotel. Their secret assignment is to verify intelligence information concerning a missile guidance system being offered by a Central American freelancing agent. The agent claims to have details about the missile system, said to have been developed by German scientists working in Egypt. The investigation begins with the SEC agents questioning the young hotel Bell Captain. As the SEC agents investigate leads around the city and region, they become involved in dangerous situations. Ultimately, Dr. Graham succeeds in his mission.
