That's a cola. P-E-P-S-I. That's your smartest cola buy. Pepsi-Cola presents Counterspy. Washington calling David Harding, Counterspy. Washington calling David Harding, Counterspy.

And now, to Counterspy...
Over the hills of Tennessee, the late afternoon sun was low on the horizon. A young chemist stood on the grounds of the world's largest atomic plant. Its grounds protected by high fences, its gates guarded by the latest scientific devices. As the young man walked along the grounds inside the main gate, he bent over and picked up a little gray cat. Hello, kitty. How's Mildred? Mildred? Mildred? Mildred? Mildred? Hey, Pop. Huh? Look out for that dog outside the gate. Oh, Mildred, here he comes. Easy, Mildred. Now, don't jump down. That collar will take your head off. I've lost you. Now you're in for a fight. Here, boy. Leave that cat alone. Come here.
Come here, boy.
Come here. Now, let's see your collar.
Let's see your collar. What's your name, huh? Oh, Tommy, huh?
What a beautiful collar you are, Tommy. Yes, sir. Fine head, good long thick... Your master's whistling for you, Tommy. That man outside the gate, he's going to scold you for running in here. Go to him, Tommy. Go to him, boy. Tommy, some more emery paper. Yeah. Mr. Morton, you're working on that little statue of St. Cecilia like it was Michelangelo. I certainly didn't hire you because you had brains, stubby. It's Michelangelo. Here's your emery paper. How does the statue look? It's okay if you like antiques. You'd never guess there's a vial of uranium compound... Worth half a million dollars. Hidden in the neck, wouldn't it? Half a million dollars?
What is the mysterious secret behind the statue in this episode?
I'd like to kiss it. Kissing is all right. But keep this stuff close to you long enough, and you'll become radioactive and die. Don't you ever touch this statuette. Without a pair of these special gloves. I won't even kiss it. But, Mr. Martin, them foreign guys you're in touch with, will they pay you off in their own dough or good old United States greenbacks?
