 Pepsi Cola, P-E-P-S-I. That's your smartest cola by. Pepsi Cola presents, Counter Spy. Counter Spy, calling Washington. Case of the Magic Murder. A thrilling Counter Spy report to the American people. Brought to you each Tuesday and Thursday by delicious Pepsi Cola. And now another report to the American people. In your family's interest, listen to these findings. Recently released by the United States Testing Company Incorporated. After thorough and impartial tests, Pepsi Cola proved of highest purity. Pepsi Cola has more quick food energy and value ounce for ounce than any other leading nationally known cola. Yes, tested compared against all other leading nationally known cola drinks. Pepsi Cola won out. You get the best and twice as much in delicious Pepsi Cola. And now to Counter Spy. This would be Mr. Peters, would it not? Good evening, Professor Cabaret. Good evening. I appreciate you seeing me this evening. Please, come in. Thank you. This chair by the desk, Mr. Peters. Thanks. While you were lucky to find such a nice little house only a Washington professor, it was your chief of the Counter Spies, Mr. David Harding, who helped me find it, Mr. Peters. The three rooms are sufficient for my personal needs. I have turned the cellar into a fine laboratory for my homework. Of course, you'll be working most of the time at the government laboratories, won't you, sir? Yes. The development of turbojet engines for land vehicles is a big project. I'm honored to have been brought to this country by your great government to work on it. By the possibilities of jet engines for land, you sudden... But you did not come for a lecture on engines, Mr. Peters. I'm not quite, Professor. The main purpose of my visit is to have you fill out this questionnaire. That is what you mentioned on the telephone. Yes. Now, by law, the Counter Spies are responsible for the safety of distinguished visitors from abroad. The more information we have, the easier our job is. But no one means me any harm, Mr. Peters. We hope not. But in these days, there's no knowing. Now, will you fill in these blanks? Now, then, do we have the full name correctly, Professor? Of the University of Maslada. First name, Jan? The middle name, Fyodorovitch. Yes, and last name, Kabara, C-A-B-A-R-R-U-S. Correct. It's an odd name, sir. But common in my part of Europe. Oh. Now, our records already show that you hold five degrees. Yes. And before the last war, you were a scientific consultant to the government of your own country. Those were happy, fruitful days, Mr. Peters. But today, my country is in the hands of... My feelings on that point are very strong, Mr. Peters. Please, go on. Now, it's through your experiences during the war and immediately after, our records require some more information. Well, I shall do my best. In 1939, when the Germans first... Oh! Operator. Operator. Give me counter-spy headquarters at once. Somewhat shaky, Mr. Haunning. I am much more disturbed over, Mr. Peters. Me too. Very seriously wounded in the head. I can take it to the counter-spy infirmary. The shots seem to come, you said, from that glass door to the sunroof. Yes. It must have been opened quietly by someone, as Mr. Peters and I were filling out this... Oh. By the way, here it is. Oh, good questionnaire. Oh, Professor, did you by any chance get a glimpse of the man who fired the shots? Just as it were, out of the corner of my eye. Well, can you recall anything at all? Try to recreate the image of that moment in your mind, if you can. Let me see. I was here. And Mr. Peters was there. You were at right angles to the sunroof door. Yes. And then the door must have opened. Ah, he wore a black velour hat. Huh? And, uh... He must have been holding the pistol in his left hand. Left-handed. Go ahead. I believe he was tall, wearing a dark coat. And yes, a mustache. Black or dark brown. And one other thing. In my mind, the picture of that man is... like death. Death. He seems like a skeleton. Sunken eyes, a thin, thin face. I'm sorry, Mr. Harding. This may be all a waste of time. Are you pardoned, Mr. Harding? Yes, Edward. You and the boys find anything. Yes, sir. The attacker apparently entered the sunroof from outside the house. Cut out a square of glass above the lock on the door from outside into the sunroof. Professor Cabarrus, with your permission, my men will keep working here. We can't even tell now whether the shots were meant for you or for Mr. Peters. Edwards, bring all the data with you later. I'm going to headquarters to see how Peters is. Peters is still on the operating table, Mr. Harding. The man who fired the shots was very accurate. All three hit Peters. One raked a furrow along the top of his head. I expect Edwards will find that bullet buried in a wall at the house there. And the second bullet lodged at the side of his neck. We've removed that one. There'll be no serious after effects. What about the third bullet? Lodged in his skull. We're studying the X-rays now. Dr. Harry Peters is not only my assistant, but he's my friend as well, and I hope. Oh, we're doing our very best, Mr. Harding. Would you excuse me? Harding. Edwards, Mr. Harding. I've returned with all we found at the professor's house. Thank you, Edwards. I'll be right down. We couldn't find any trace of footprints around the house, Mr. Harding. The grass is all pretty well grown. Oh, what about car tracks? Oh, no, sir. Well, then, let's add up what we know about the attacker. Now, that bullet you dug out of the wall. It's a 38 caliber, sir. From an automatic. All right. Man using a 38 caliber automatic, he fired at a distance about 20 feet in imperfect light. And that suggests he's a good marksman for a gunman if he was aiming at Peter. We know he gained entrance to the house at the back through the sunroom by cutting out a square glass above the door lock. I guess then he reached inside and let himself in. This complicates the problem, Edwards. It's a burglar's technique. Not often you find a professional gunman who uses burglar techniques or vice versa. All right, Edwards, let's get to work. Now, if you'll be good enough to handle the loudspeaker system to the floor below there. Gunman, 38 automatic. Left handed, technique of entry by rear of establishment. By door, by cutting out glass. Appearance, moustache. Black or dark brown. Black or dark brown. Upside wire, please. This is very strange, Edwards. Professor Cabarrus, this is David Harding. Yes, Mr. Harding. We've located the name of a man answering the description you gave us. The name is Bones Cleburne. We can have him in our hands inside of two hours. I'm sorry, leave, Mr. Harding. There's only one difficulty. He was in an automobile accident in Florida. He's been dead for eight months. You're done. How's Mr. Peters? I'm very hopeful when Mr. Peters regains consciousness, he'll be able to give us a vital clue in this case. But how is he, Mr. Harding? The doctors are waiting for the shock to subside before operating. I'm told his chances are only 50-50. We just don't dare operate, Mr. Harding. We just don't dare. I don't understand, Dr. Dillon. Well, the bullet launched in the frontal lobe, probably the frontal gyrus. Just missing the lateral cerebral artery. Now, the removal would be a most delicate operation. None of us here on the staff knows the technique well enough. Well, who does? Only one man, I'm afraid, a great brain surgeon who just this past year developed a new technique for this type of brain operation. Get him over here, Dr. Dillon. He's Dr. K.T. Holburn of Central Hospital, Colby City. Colby City, that's 1,000 miles away. Well, let's get on the phone, Dr. Peters has got to be saved. Operator, this is Mr. Harding. Yes, Mr. Harding. I'm going to be here on Dr. Dillon's line in the infirmary for some time. Now, I want you to keep it clear for fast work. Certainly, Mr. Harding. I want to place a call to Colby City, Central Hospital, Dr. K.T. Holburn. That's H-O-L-B-U-R-N. Colby City, Central Hospital, Dr. K.T. Holburn. Right, and rush it. Operator, this is counter-spy headquarters. I want Colby City, 6700. Colby City, 6700. Dr. K.T. Holburn. Dr. K.T. Holburn, what is your number, please? Equator 1,000. Will you hold the line, please? Oh, Harding's speaking. Mr. Harding, Dr. Holburn is not at the hospital. Oh, let me speak with a long distance operator, please. Surely? Not at the hospital. Well, does the hospital know where he can be reached? Now, this is vitally important. I am sorry, sir. They say Dr. Holburn's not in Colby City at all. Where is he then? He's on a medical research trip to South America. South America? Well, do you know where he is right now? According to the schedule he left with the hospital, he's in Caracas, Venezuela tonight. A two or more stopover. Venezuela? Well, how's he traveling? By plane, sir. Commercial airlines of South America. The Rio de Janeiro flight. Thank you very much, operator. Holburn's in Venezuela, Mr. Harding. Oh, that's a bad blow to Peter's chances. I'm not giving up yet, Dr. Dillon. Yes, Mr. Harding? I find that Dr. Holburn might be reached in Caracas, Venezuela at the commercial airlines airport. Rio de Janeiro flight. I've got to do everything possible to reach him. Will you put a call through there, please? Hello, Miami. This is Washington, long distance. Will you give me your overseas operator? Overseas. Hello, overseas. The ticket, Washington Equator 1000, Mr. David Harding, counter-spy headquarters, calling Dr. K. T. Holburn at commercial airlines airport, Caracas, Venezuela. Washington Equator 1000, Mr. David Harding, counter-spy headquarters, calling Dr. K. T. Holburn, commercial airlines airport, Caracas, Venezuela. Will you ring the number, Washington? Counter-spy headquarters. This is the overseas operator. Let me speak to Mr. Harding, please. On your call to Caracas, Venezuela, due to the number of calls already on hand, the next available time is tomorrow afternoon. Will that be satisfactory? Tomorrow afternoon, operator Dr. Holburn's a brain surgeon. We must reach him for an important operation. We'll try to complete your call as soon as possible. Overseas operator, ticket. A ticket.

We can give Dr. Holburn a message when the flight arrives. Please do so. Have him call the overseas operator. It is in connection with an important surgical operation. Two hours, Mr. Harding. And there's nothing we can do for Peters. There's got to be. Yes, Mr. Harding. Connect me with the airport in Caracas, will you please? Put the call through no matter what. Back to Counterspy, presented by delicious Pepsi-Cola. Pepsi-Cola, it's a spot. Two full glasses, that's a lot. Twice as much and better too. Yes, twice as much and better too. You know Pepsi gives you twice as much. You know Pepsi's better, tastes better. But now I want to make sure you know which cola drink is of proven highest quality. Listen, impartial tests were made comparing all the leading nationally known colas.

That's why Pepsi's so refreshing. Why you feel so good, why you're on the beat, why people call Pepsi their favorite treat, when the qualities prove tops and the taste is so delightful.

Delicious Pepsi-Cola, delicious Pepsi-Cola, delicious Pepsi-Cola, delicious Pepsi-Cola. Now back to counterspies. Caracas airport to flight. Flight 598, what is it Caracas? Do you have a Dr. K. T. Holburn aboard? Dr. Holburn, yes, yes we have. They're from Washington, D.C. You are due in one hour and 45 minutes. But at the request of the chief of the United States counterspies, we have obtained special permission for you to come in ahead of time if you can do it. We can try. You give us the airline and landing clearance. We will arrange everything. I can be over the field at 2330. Bring me in fast. Caracas. And this is Dr. Holburn. I understand you have a call for me. Yes, sir, one moment please. This is Dr. Henry Dillon, chief medical officer of the United States counterspies. Oh yes, Dr. Dillon. We have a serious case here that requires your technique, the Holburn incision. And none of us here is familiar with it. I suppose I'll fly right back to Washington. And I'm afraid there isn't time for that now, Dr. Holburn. Could we do this? If I acquaint you with the X-rays, could you then direct me in the operation over the phone? We'll have the phone connected right in the operating theater. Hey, Dr. Holburn, anterior posterior and lateral X-rays show the bullet to be midway between the third ventricle and the cellotusica with the head of the bullet approximately two millimeters from the anterior aspect of the lateral ventricle. Starting at a point, 35 millimeters from the zygomatic tuba. Her lateral X-ray shows the nose of the slug to be two millimeters from the anterior aspect of the lateral ventricle. Two millimeters of incision. 45 degrees toward the superior temporal line. 45 degrees toward superior temporal line. At next step, Holburn. Make the incision no more than three centimeters in length. Incision three centimeters. Scalpel? Scalpel. All right, Holburn. I'm making the first incision. Pretty close, fella. The doc said you tore up the international phone. The main thing is you're going to be all right now. I made this a couple of days, chief. That wouldn't surprise me. I guess my time's up. Now, Dr. Dillon wasn't even going to let me in at all. Dave. About Professor Cabarrus. Did you get the questionnaire finished? Finished? Well, that was finished before the man opened the sunroom door and fired. Professor Cabarrus gave it to me. Man? Sunroom door? Yeah. Well, the shots came from behind me, Dave. I was sitting at the desk. Easy, Peter. You better take it easy. I'll come back this afternoon. We'll talk about it. You go to sleep. Where's Professor Cabarrus? He isn't here, but we can work anywhere. Yes, Mr. Hardy. Peter said that he was sitting here at the desk. I faced him right at the sunroom door. Professor Cabarrus said that that's where the attacker appeared. But Peter was looking right at the door and saw no one. And another thing, the three bullets that hit Peter's hit him in the back of the head. That means, then, that the bullets came from behind him. Not only the fireplace behind the desk, this one filing cabinet. Of course, when I spoke to Peter, he was still foggy from the operation and the anesthetic. Look out! Thanks for knocking me out of the way, Edward. Where the shots come from? As I was looking at the filing cabinet, the little metal flap covering the lock on the second drawer moved aside. Behind it, I saw the muzzle of a pistol. Hand me that poker from the fireplace. All right. What's that apparatus, Mr. Harding? Looks like a photoelectric cell. Yes, projecting a photoelectric beam across the chair at the desk to actuate the firing of the automatic. But why didn't it go off the moment you sat down there? I can't tell off, Ann, but we may find it's a delayed action system taking maybe a minute and... Oh, hello, Professor Cabello. Your man at the front door told me you gentlemen were here. I take it you've discovered something. The filing cabinet, Mr. Harding? An ingenious murder scheme to kill Peter's while he sat at that desk. To kill Mr. Pe... Then he is dead? Somebody wanted him dead. Dreadful? Dreadful? Who could have used my house to try to murder him? I have only one suspicion, Professor. It was someone who wanted to conceal certain facts about himself. Edward, does that questionnaire please? Yes, sir. Professor, you told me you and Peter's had completed filling this out before the shots were fired. But Peter's tells me you'd only reached item seven just before the questions concerning your activities in Europe during the war. I'm sure Mr. Peter's has mistaken, Mr. Harding. No, he's not, because this reveals a motive for the murder attempt. Peter's might have asked pointed questions, and they would have shown that during the last war you were not in exile or in the underground. But in the pay of the very people you pretend to despise. Ridiculous, Mr. Harding. Not at all. This morning I talked to our attacheys in your capital, and these answers here are false. You gambled. Nobody would check them. You'd be safe to work on American scientific projects and steal vital information. Edward, search him. Yes, sir. Mr. Harding, I protest. You have every liberty to, in court, because I'm charging you now with the attempted murder of Harry Peter's. I'm very happy to say you failed all around. Delicious Pepsi Cola. Bring it on now.
