The Time Tunnel Cast

6th December, 1941: Tony and Doug arrive in the Japanese Consulate in Honolulu, Hawaii, on the day before Pearl Harbour will be bombed. After witnessing the Japanese Chief of Espionage, Tosaka, his aide, Okuno, and agent Sumida burning files, the two time-travellers manage to talk their way out of the building. Tony tells Doug that he was born in Pearl Harbor, and that his father was lost in the imminent attack; he now plans to find his father, and try to find out what happened. Together they head for the house run by Mrs. Neal, where Commander Newman is staying, but when they attempt to warn the officer of the impending Japanese assault he refuses to believe their claims. Tony manages to convince his father of his sincerity by recalling facts that a stranger would not know, and so the commander leaves for Naval Headquarters to check on the predicted attack. Doug and Tony leave the house, only to be captured by agent Sumida and taken to a warehouse for questioning. Meanwhile, the personnel of the Project Tic-Toc realise that they must find a way to save the seven-year-old Tony from the next day’s bombing - otherwise the adult Tony will cease to exist…

Cliff-hanger: Doug and Tony find themselves near New Orleans during the War of 1812 - and Doug is shot at by a British redcoat soldier…
