What is very strange about this episode the situation these men find themselves in. They are building a mining tunnel through the side of a hill in some remote place that is nearly inaccessible. It is dangerous, unpredictable work. Because of a lack of proper equipment and poor quality workmen, the head engineer has had enough and decides to quite the project. At one point he is nearly killed when all the men run away. One day, the boss arrives, bringing with him a man who is supposedly skilled in this kind of work. The boss takes off while our hero is in the mine, leaving him there for several weeks. He decides he would rather continue to work on the project rather than sit around. A suspicious relationship develops between the two men. Also, a radio announcement makes it clear that the new guy may be a wanted murder suspect. There are guns involved and lots of distrust. The story has the usual Hitchcock, O. Henry kind of conclusion.
One of the stranger thing about the episode is the fact that they have frequent parties on the beach. There is one woman, a beautiful young nurse, who dances as they play their instruments. I can't imagine a more dangerous place for such a person. She seems totally out of place. She does, however, provide medical attention for the men. Strange.
