Summary

Plum Island and Alice Clement Is a top-secret government island harboring bioengineered nightmares? Probably. But does it also have weirdly aggressive seagulls? Absolutely. This episode of The Box of Oddities unravels the bizarre conspiracies swirling around Plum Island—a place so mysterious it makes Area 51 look like a roadside gift shop. Then, we step back to the Roaring Twenties to meet Alice Clement, a detective who cracked cases, rocked the latest fashions, and single-handedly proved that crime-fighting could involve both grit and style. How did this flapper-era policewoman bust criminals with a flair that put Hollywood to shame? And what really lurks beyond Plum Island’s restricted shores? Strap in for a wild ride of mystery, history, and possibly some biohazardous seagulls. Listen now—before they censor it!
