Dora sits along the banks of the Madison River as the chilly waters swiftly flow past and the sun angles down through a cloud at her picnic table. She looks to the left and to the right wondering where their contact is. Winston Churchill had sent him from London all the way to the wilds of Montana to find them in their latest hideaway, Yellowstone National Park. They need to make an exchange of documents before Hitler’s spy, Helga von Wessel, gets her grubby hands on those maps.

Edward is standing on a rock on the banks of the stream with his binoculars looking for the contact. Suddenly Dora hears a growl and stares into the maniacal eyes of an eight foot grizzly bear with a hump on its back. She screams, leaps up, and tries to climb a tree. But the monster is right behind her.

A gun fires. The bear howls as Edward strikes it. They leap into their brown Packard and flee back to the Old Faithful Inn where everyone in the lobby is gathered around a radio announcing that a grizzly has just been let out of a small zoo in West Yellowstone. A svelte, white-gloves lady with a fox stole was sent opening the cage door and fleeing in her Mercedes.

Helga! She must have spotted them at their picnic area which was right beside West Yellowstone. She hoped it would find them before their contact from Churchill did.
