In an uncharacteristic moment of distraction ("explained" by the episode's title), Saunders (Vic Morrow) is captured by the Germans. Subsequently rescued by the French Underground, Saunders is hidden in the posh apartment of Annette Touzet (Micheline Presle). Though worried that she'll be killed by the Nazis if Saunders is discovered, Annette also knows that if she refuses to hide him, she'll be executed by the Partisans because of her romantic involvement with a German officer. The climax takes place on an old barge, with the titular "record" once again brought into play--literally. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
