Henry Horn's X-Ray Eye Glasses

Inventor Henry Horn finally completes his most audacious project: a pair of glasses that let the wearer see through solid objects as if they were made of glass. He sets up a modest stall on his farm, charging a dollar for a minute’s glimpse, and quickly draws a colorful crowd of curious townsfolk, a red‑haired businessman, and a disgruntled professor fed up with a nearby nudist camp. Among the observers is Major Ray Coggleston of Army Intelligence, who is hunting for hidden Axis spies near an explosives lab just a mile away.

The moment Horn demonstrates the glasses, the quiet meadow turns into a stage for sudden suspicion and comic chaos. The professor erupts, fearing the invention will expose every nosy intruder, while Coggleston wonders if the device could actually reveal covert enemy activity nearby. Listeners will enjoy a fast‑moving mix of humor, wartime tension, and the absurdity of a small‑town inventor thrust into a potential spy‑catching adventure.
