Ned Jordan, Secret Agent
Tank Trap for Terrorists
by
Ned Jordan, Secret Agent follows the adventures of a government agent working undercover against threats to national security. The series centers on Jordan’s investigations, as he uses observation, nerve, and quick thinking to uncover danger and bring criminals to justice.
Presented as a radio adventure drama, the program uses dialogue, sound effects, and music to build suspense and carry the action. Its stories draw on the spy and crime traditions, placing the agent in situations where deception and danger are part of the work. The episode title, “Tank Trap for Terrorists,” suggests a wartime setting and a threat involving sabotage.
The result is a brisk, suspenseful listening experience shaped by the conventions of the secret-agent serial: a capable hero, urgent stakes, and a mystery to follow. It offers a glimpse of radio adventure from the early 1940s, with the drama unfolding through performance and sound rather than narration.
