Synopsis for 1st story
Peggy got ready for bed and tried to sleep, when she heard gunfire and a man kicked down her bedroom door. She attacked the man and attacked more who were downstairs. She pulled a card out of one of the men's pockets and saw Howard Stark's name.
The next day, Peggy stormed into Howard's office and confronted him about the raid on her house last night. Howard told Peggy that a man had asked him to meet him in Moscow and invited her to come along.
Three days later, Peggy and Howard arrived in Moscow and met her Intourist handler Tania Belinskaya. Peggy, Howard, and Tania went to a bar, where they encountered a man named Woodrow McCord, who had an unfriendly encounter with the former of the women. Then, Howard showed McCord some sort of alien beacon, as what appeared to be fireworks went off outside. Suddenly, a green light started a fire struck the bar and started a fire. Peggy, Howard, Tania, and Woodrow ran outside to see an alien ship in the sky.

- The radio broadcast at the start sets the date as May 1951 with references to the recognition of the Soviet Olympic Committee, the recent sentencing of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the attack on the Hwacheon Dam, heavy rainfall that would lead to the Great Flood of 1951, and the upcoming Operation Greenhouse. However, other issues give the year as 1952.
