10/3/56 ***Algys Budrys was a successful sci-fi writer but this was his only X Minus One story. Balmholtzer is an investigator for the galaxy. (A fairly big territory if I say so myself...) A cute brunette describes a machine that makes uncounterfeitable, indestructable currency. But they find some counterfeits and he is investigating.
Balmholtzer is lead to a jungle-like planet with 7-foot natives and an interesting item that can reproduce anything.
This is what science fiction radio can do - tell a good imaginative story that keeps you interested.
