The Most Famous Spy

There is a Mounties. We present episode 33 in Blair of the Mounties. The story told in this episode is a reminiscent of the Secret Service work in the World War. The name of Mata Hari, the Red Dancer, had become notorious in history.

Her exploits as a secret agent of Germany have been exaggerated out of all semblance to the truth. If while in the story now to be presented, some of the names have been authored and the story itself reconstructed for dramatic effect, it portrays a strain of human feeling in this famous spy which the little known is authentic.

Our opening scene is in the Savoy Hotel London where we find Inspector Blair talking to Bruce Harding, crack American reporter on the London Evening Star. Well, well, if it is my old friend Inspector Blair.

Ha, gosh, I haven't seen you all since three days ago, when you tried to chisel the story out of me. Well, how's the newspaper business? Oh, so so. Nothing ever happens these days. How's fishing, Inspector?

Oh, that's fair. Hey, you know, it's funny, Inspector. Old man, Teshman disappears in Stoneyhaven, and you go down there fishing. Eh, quite a coincidence. Yes, sure. And then there was that burglary at Lord... Weverten's place, down at Coom's Seton.

The paper shoots me down there. I don't get a thing, but I run into you. Fishing again. Yeah. Fishing again. Come on, Inspector. Come on. We never got a thing. But there was a strong wind blowing somewhere.

Oh, come now. Listen, Inspector. Now all kidding aside, couldn't you just give me the low down on that affair? Just in confidence. You wouldn't publish it, of course. I will publish it. Why? I should say not.
