The reds have a treacherous plot : they arrange a phony charitable organization that ostensibly allows people in America to donate to the relief of their destitute family members in Poland according to a menu of gift packages. They're wildly overcharged, so the communists get rich and a list those to persecute behind the iron curtain.—WesternOne
A Communist front dreams up an idea to steal cash from guileless Americans - create a dummy organization that convinces U.S. citizens to buy food packages for starving Poles at Christmas time. Neither the packages nor the Polish families exist - the money is simply pocketed by the Commie treasury. When the scheme is dragged out again at Easter, Philbrick tries find hard evidence that the trading company is a fraudulent shell company.—David Bassler
