SECRET AGENT K-7 RETURNS Before there was James Bond, before The Man Called X , and before Steve Mitchell took on a single Dangerous Assignment , there was Agent K-7. Secret Agent K-7 began on the radio in 1932 and made the leap into movies with Special Agent K-7. The original K-7 radio series is lost, but in 1939, a new transcribed syndicated series launched called, Secret Agent K-7 Returns . Secret Agent K-7 Returns was a series of seventy-eight fifteen minute spy stories. Secret Agent K-7 didn’t take part in most adventures. Rather, he introduced the stories of what other agents did. In early episodes, Secret Agent K-7 offered the stories as cautionary tales as what aggressor powers were doing to undermine piece. K-7’s role in the story was to explain how the preceding story had been a cautionary tale about what spies were doing to undermine world peace.
