Brigitte en acción

# Brigitte en Acción

This Spanish-language spy story serial by Lou Carrigan features Brigitte, a beautiful female operative working for an unnamed intelligence organization. The narrative opens with Brigitte receiving coded instructions via magnetic tape in a warehouse basement. She assumes the alias "Ana Brown" to meet with a Swiss inventor named Franz Weheimer (or his wife) at the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn. The contact concerns the sale of an undisclosed but significant electronic apparatus.

After elaborate disguise preparations—blonde wig, tinted contact lenses, padding—Brigitte drives an old black sedan to meet Frida Weheimer, the inventor's wife, who carries identifying red roses. During their drive toward Queens where Franz awaits, Brigitte detects surveillance by a Packard automobile. She directs the nervous Frida to drive circles around McCarren Park while Brigitte assembles a compressed-air rifle from components hidden in her cosmetics case, loads a chemical ampule, and prepares to neutralize the pursuers. The excerpt ends as Brigitte fires at the following vehicle.
