Argyle I must say you took a long time to recover your senses oh this Valerie on you the one who hit me on the head good gracious no mr. Argyle that was Bing for your information we're in my house and both Bing and George are in the very next room that's interesting brought along some brandy I thought you might need it how about you oh I don't need a drink I haven't committed a murder meaning Clark who did it you me you know better than that your men must have been watching Clark's housekeeper said you did it so you grabbed her too you work fast I couldn't afford to have a screeching all over New Orleans neither could I until I was sure her screeching was useful useful you're a counter spy aren't you mr. Argyle if I were a counter spy I wouldn't have shot Clark out of arrest him wouldn't I Clark told me somebody was trying to wipe all of us out is that you crazy not anymore he's dead but it's a wild idea that's really fantastic who's next blix you saw blix and Memphis didn't you in the hospital yes but you were in Memphis too you could have arranged my little nighting you could have shot Clark tonight mr. Argyle I think I will have some brandy with pleasure thank you you're really scared aren't you so I guess it's not you who's trying to wipe us out it's blix mr. Argyle why couldn't you be the one sent out from the home office to get rid of us all if I were why would I have stabbed myself back in that Tennessee cave wounds can be faked wherever you knifed yeah in the side right there oh it's very tricky at me that I've made sure you were knifed yes haven't you it knocks out your theory of my being the official killer but not of your being a counter spy maybe you could fool blix alone or me alone but not the two of us together suppose we settle that now tonight how blix is way up in Memphis oh no he arrived here in New Orleans this morning and in a few minutes he can be here we can find out whether he murdered Clark and whether or not your account is by I shall phone him mr. Argyle meantime have another drink hearty speaking go ahead let's hear lieutenant we saw Peter's come out of Clark's house fat man grabbed him and took him away in a car did you follow oh we lost him on a tear at the house found Clark shot no but I'm on my way to your headquarters with a report on blix from Memphis he was the one who abducted the real guide in the caves took his place and murdered Argyle they didn't catch him in Memphis lieutenant he's probably here in New Orleans right now and he's the one who knows that Peter's is a plant we've got to find him and stay close to him or Peter's won't live out the night how exquisite you look as always hello blix waiting for you and mr. Argyle as I suggested in Memphis it is a small world isn't it and getting smaller blix something's gone seriously wrong among us Clark was killed earlier tonight oh perhaps because he become too expensive like you blix and me and mr. Argyle I wasn't aware that mr. Argyle so expensive he is if he's really a counter spy she's crazy blix you ought to know you saw Argyle in Memphis he is a counter spy being in Georgia handy they can take care of him tonight Valerie you're being ridiculous I trust mr. Argyle as much as I trust you and how much is that if Argyle is to be trusted then who tried to kill him who murdered Clark blix have you been sent here to get rid of us all I heard a car outside for your men in the front room why don't ask them about the car please trust me go and see very well listen Argyle don't waste a second both our lives dependent I know you're not really Argyle I've known since I saw you in the hospital in Memphis I realized then that my game was up so I sent you along to meet Valoran Clark purposely as evidence of my good will you are a counter spy aren't you what if I were I'm ready to tell you everything you want to know about this spy group in exchange for your letting me go free so you're the man sent out to wipe out this group the information the real Argyle sinners turned out all wrong all of us are supposed to pay for that you don't add up blix if you've been betraying your own friends by exposing Valerie Arden and Clark to me why did you murder Clark a shrewd question stronger or whatever your real name is frankly I thought it best at the last moment to make myself look good both to my own people at home and do you whatever happened I'd have a good story to tell smart boy now if you're really a counter spy let me go free I can save us both from this woman those two plug-angles if not I'll have to kill you now did you really hear a car outside of course not what's your answer I'm sure I hear a car maybe two you're evading my question mr. Argyle that means that you're not a counter spy as I see I've made a mistake that's easily corrected with a gun drop your gun blix the house is around it drop it blix got it mr. Harding sorry that was so close Peter all right now how about the woman Lieutenant Fabian these men are out front they've already got her and her two gunmen and here we've got the murderer of Argyle and of Clark haven't we Mr. Harding you mistake me I just made an important offer to this gentleman here a full report blix I'll make you an offer you give us that full report and we'll see that it reaches the government that employed you they wanted this ring wiped out now you can report complete success with some help from the counter spies when your friends drop in be generous but be thrifty to serve plenty of delicious Pepsi Cola Pepsi's big 12 ounce bottle gives you not just one sparkling glass full but to get a carton of six and serve 12 delicious drinks yes Pepsi is America's biggest cola value you get twice the tangy taste twice the refreshment twice the Pepsi so why take less when Pepsi is best whenever you reach for refreshment remember Pepsi cola hits a spot truthful glasses that's a lot lot more value a lot more yes why take less when Pepsi's best tune in every Tuesday and Thursday same time same station to counter spy listen next Tuesday for the exciting counter spy case of a cold-blooded professor the secret seller that hid the mysterious inventions of a calculating killer the dark patches on the square film that indicated the suspect would visit a certain type of store and the hit-and-run victim who used a leg hook and kick to catch the carrier of vitriolic acid off God that's next Tuesday's counter spy make sure to tune in to case of a cold-blooded killer on counter spy tonight's counter spy program originated in New York was directed by William M.
