What role does David Harding play in the investigation?
But now, from August 11th, 1949, here is The Case of the Murmured Millions.
Pepsicola, P-E-P-S-I, that's your smartest cola buy. Pepsicola presents Counterspy.
Washington calling David Harding, counter-spy. Washington calling David Harding, counter-spy.
Harding, counter-spy, calling Washington.
United States counter-spies, especially appointed to investigate and combat the enemies of our country, both at home and abroad.
Tonight, the case of the murmured millions. Another counter-spy report to the American people, brought to you each Tuesday and Thursday by Pepsi-Cola. Pepsi-Cola hits the spot. Two full glasses, that's a lot. That's right, you heard what they said. Two full glasses of sparkling Pepsi from one big 12-ounce bottle. You're getting an extra glass full. And what a delicious glass full.
How does the protection racket differ from traditional methods?
The most refreshing, delightful cola that ever tickled your taste. You can't top Pepsi's tangy flavor, and that big, big bottle saves you money, goes twice as far. Pepsi is America's big, big favorite, and America's biggest cola value. So why take less when Pepsi's best? Whenever you reach for refreshment, remember... Why take less when Pepsi's best? And now to Counterspy...
Hello? Oh, yeah, Tony. With the same guy? Boy, that little two-timing. Where are you now? Downstairs in the lobby. Is she on her way up? No, no, you don't have to tail her anymore. I got enough for a nice big burn.
What evidence does Harding gather against the con man?
Okay, ring off. James, I want I learn you. So, Rocky, I got something I want to talk to you about. Me first, Dad. I got something I want to give you.
It's about time.
I've been due for... You've been due for this for a long time?
Rocky!
Oh, babe, make the jerk out of Rocky. Done.
Oh, Rocky's gone.
You're timing me for a two-bit con, man.
Oh, stop it, Rocky. Stop it, I tell you.
Don't tell me nothing.
How do rumors impact the business world in this story?
I know it all. Nobody pulls the wool over Rocky's eyes. Oh! He's good, this guy, Norman. Worth taking a beating for? He's that good at playing around?
Oh, no, Rocky, no, please. Please, this was business strictly business.
You know what I think of that kind of business.
Listen. It's for you I did it. He wants to meet you with his amazing... That's good.
That's really good. He wants to meet me so he plays footsie with my doll. Why don't you come up here?
What tactics does Harding use to expose the mastermind?
I got an address.
Oh, no, Rocky. Will you listen, please? No more.
Okay, I got time. Speak your piece once and good, because then I'm going to kick your teeth in.
Oh, listen, he wants to see you. He's got a proposition. I was going to set up a date when you started... Stop the fairy tale, Dodd.
I looked him up. He's a corn man, a lone wolf. What does he want from me?
