“Clef Dweller”

Bascomb Senior returns from civilian submarine dawn patrol in his seaplane, wounded, reporting two German spies headed for Crow Point in a raft. Mom phones in the report while son Dave takes the plane up to try and spot the spies. He spots them on the land, takes the plane down on the shore, and gives pursuit up on the cliff. An army pursuit plane spooks the spies, who scurry and cling from cliff's edge. With his dad's shotgun, Dave holds them hanging there, awaiting the arrival of the boys from the airfield.
