It Takes a Thief

The Old Who Came in from the Spy (3x12)

Ausstrahlung: Dez 11, 1969

Mr. Miles of British Intelligence, requests Al's help to find a microdot, containing a secret political agreement between China and the United Arab Republic, which was hidden by a murdered spy in the Volrs Museum, in East Berlin. Al is given help from Mollie Taylor, an elderly art lover and British spy, who knows the art museum inside and out. Al steals the microdot and gets out of East Berlin, but Mollie is captured during the escape by Herr Hoffman and is held in prison. Mr. Miles and Wally, who won't help, consider Molly expendable but nothing will stop Al from getting her out. Al calls Mollie's friend, Mr. Blanton, to help him with a plan that will take a lot of nerve. Al is "arrested" and taken to the prison, and then he and Mollie are "transferred" out of the prison by Mr. Blanton, pretending to be a higher authority. The only problem left is how to get across the border, and Al tells Mollie they're going to use the oldest trick of them all, they'll bribe the guard!
