A demonstration provokes outrage from his long-suffering scientific partner and draws curious onlookers and Army Intelligence interest. The device's revelations escalate from embarrassing voyeurism to the exposure of covert agents and sabotage plans, producing a comic string of misunderstandings, ethical complaints, and frantic attempts to control the invention's consequences.
