phrase. "When the Brodkin  Organization took over the series, they wanted to turn it into an  anthology... so they played down the amnesia aspect until there was  nothing about it at all in the show. It was just  Frank Converse (qv) wandering from one story to the next with no  connective format at all. Anyway, the show ended after seventeen  weeks and nobody found out what coronet blue meant. The actual  secret is that Converse was not really an American at all. He was a  Russian who had been trained to appear like an American and was sent  to the U.S. as a spy. He belonged to a spy unit called Coronet  Blue. He decided to defect, so the Russians tried to kill him  before he can give away the identities of the other Soviet agents.  And nobody can really identify him because he doesnt exist as an  American. Coronet Blue was actually an outgrowth of The Traitor  episode of _"Defenders, The" (1961)_ (qv)."
