Once upon a time, pessimists, optimists and saletists were grilling.
And so it happened that the saletist succeeded.

This is David Harding. Because of the importance of tonight's counter-spy case, following our dramatization, there will be a special message from the Vice President of the United States of interest to all Americans. Pepsicola, P-E-P-S-I, that's your smartest cola buy. Pepsicola presents Counter-Spy.
Washington calling David Harding, counterspy. Washington calling David Harding, counterspy.
Harding, counterspy. Calling Washington. 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 a courageous come-on. 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. 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's 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. It is a scene truly out of the old west. A dance and gambling hall crowded with hard-riding, fast-shooting men enjoying themselves, but at any moment ready for action. Suddenly, the swinging doors fly open. A tall, languid cowpoke stands framed in them. The crowd quiets down as the cowpoke ambles to the bar and stops in front of a well-dressed, shifty-eyed man. Well, dude, it's sundown. And I'm still in town. You don't take advice easy, Steve Morgan.
Who introduces the Counterspy episode and what background info is given?
I'm choosy about whose advice I take, dude. I don't like yours. I give you five seconds to draw. Now look, Steve, you don't... Okay, okay, that's it.
Cut, cut. Camera will print that take. All right, boys, clear the sets. We can do the fight scene next. Oh, Gary, Gary.
Well, how did it go, my great director? Okay? Well, swell. Great, strong toss-up. Thanks. You've got a visitor, Gary. Dr. Hobart Wayland. This is Gary Marlowe. Steve Morgan in this picture we're shooting. Well, how do you do, Mr. Marlowe? It's quite a thrill meeting you in person after seeing you in so many films. Thank you, doctor. May I present my assistant, James Dover? Oh, hello, Mr. Dover. I... Oh. It's all right, Mr. Marlowe. I can shake hands with my left. Get used to it after being without a right arm a couple of years. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice. Okay. Everyone spots a leg first. Mr. Marlowe, is there somewhere we could talk privately? Why, my dressing room. Just follow me. To get to the point, Mr. Marlowe, I'm heading the Institute for Disabled Workers, and we're embarking on a large fundraising campaign.
