The Sickle or the Cross plot

John Burnside is a missionary in the Far East. After twenty years, he is preparing to return home and fight against communism. However, the Russians imprison him and send in his place a spy who is his doppelgänger, with the mission of promoting communism. The spy is welcomed to Burnside's hometown and he reports to the local communist headquarters. James John, a prominent local businessman who is actually a Red agent, has instructions to help him. He does a series of personal appearances, radio interviews and even talk shows, taking an anti-communist approach.
