00:23Don't play with the television set, Sherman. It's bust.
00:26No, it isn't, Mr. Peabody. A spy fixed it this morning.
00:29A spy?
00:30Well, he snuck in the back door and he was all dressed in black.
00:33Well, that doesn't mean he's a spy.
00:34Well, he gave us secret service, didn't he?
00:37Oh, dear. I had no alternative but to make Sherman stand in a corner, the one occupied by the wayback
00:42machine.
00:43Where to, Mr. Peabody?
00:44Well, as long as we're on the subject of spies, let us meet the queen of them all, the legendary
00:48Mata Hari.
00:49Sherman sent the wayback machine for Newcastle, England in the early days of the First World War.
00:54We arrived just as one of the largest ships of its day was about to be launched.
00:58Which one of the people on the launching platform is Mata Hari, Mr. Peabody?
01:01From here, it's hard to tell. She undoubtedly is wearing a clever disguise.
01:05It was then I spotted a waiter going up the steps carrying a bottle of champagne with which the ship
01:09was to be christened.
01:10That, Sherman, is Mata Hari.
01:12How can you tell?
01:13When a waiter wears high heels, something is afoot.
01:16In the name of his majesty, I hereby christen this ship.
01:20Don't swing that bottle, Admiral.
01:21Why not?
01:25She blew it up!
01:26We reported the incident to the counterintelligence department of Scotland Yard.
01:30Well, if Mata Hari is in England, it means the war effort is in serious jeopardy.
01:36Wonder what she'll do next?
01:37Probably steal some secret plans.
01:39I doubt that.
01:40We have a steel-proof steel safe here, but we shall check anyway.
01:44Oh, dear, what did I do with the combination?
01:46The combination is six left, thirty-two right, back to eight, around ones to zero, and right to three.
01:51Gad, sir, how do you know the combination?
01:54I don't really. It happens to be the phone number of my aunt in Peoria.
01:57The heavy door swung open, revealing an empty safe.
02:00Good. She didn't take a thing.
02:02What do you mean, Inspector?
02:04Well, the safe is just a blind. I keep the secret plans in my pants pocket.
02:08We suddenly realized his pockets were gone, along with his pants.
02:11That means Mata Hari got away with the plans.
02:13Yes, and without them, England is lost.
02:16In a desperate attempt to overtake her before she could leave the country,
02:18we dashed for the nearest optometrist.
02:21Optometrist? What makes you think she'll be there?
02:23Quite obvious, Sherman. All spies need spy glasses.
02:27Suddenly before us loomed a shop owned by a Dr. Focals.
02:30Rushing inside, we spotted Mata Hari standing by Focals.
02:34No use making a spectacle of yourself, Mata Hari. We've got the drop on you.
02:39Actually, she had the drop on us, for a trap door sprang open and Mata Hari disappeared.
02:43Quick! She'll head for the airport now.
02:45We arrived just as Mata Hari took off in an old de Havilland.
02:50We were quick to follow in a new de Havilland.
02:54I didn't know you could fly, Mr. Peabody.
02:56I have a little bird dog in me, Sherman.
02:58By the time we were halfway across the channel, we were practically on Mata Hari's tail.
03:02Open fire, Inspector!
03:03Right, sir.
03:04Unfortunately, the Inspector misinterpreted Sherman's command.
03:07To him, open fire meant to open the cockpit and build a fire.
03:13We went down in flames, which was the name of a small French town right near the German lines.
03:20We disembarked from our burning plane and took stock of our situation.
03:23This, Sherman, is what is known as no man's land.
03:26Years ago, it was a lush forest.
03:28But the trees are gone!
03:29That's right, Sherman.
03:30This is the Argonne Forest.
03:33You should have saved that one for the ending, Mr. Peabody.
03:35Oh, I have one that's worse than that, Sherman.
03:38Right now, our problem is to outwit Mata Hari before she can deliver the secret plans to the enemy.
03:43We shall never catch her now.
03:44We shall not only catch her, we shall pass her.
03:47Unmindful of the shrapnel, we ran between the falling bombs and reached the enemy trench a good 45 and 3
03:53tenths seconds ahead of Mata.
03:54Oh, we're in trouble, Mr. Peabody. Look at all the bayonets.
03:57And that gave me an idea. I picked up a string of hot dogs lying in a nearby shell hole
04:01and instructed Sherman and the inspector to follow my example.
04:04We placed a hot dog at the end of each bayonet.
04:06Naturally, the soldiers assumed they were at a weenie bake, and being German, rushed off to get some sauerkraut.
04:11Now what, Mr. Peabody?
04:12Quick, into these uniforms!
04:14When Mata Hari got there, she took us for German officers and promptly handed over the secret plans.
04:18I, in turn, promptly handed the plans and Miss Hari over to the inspector.
04:23We did it, Mr. Peabody!
04:24Yes, don't we always?
04:26By the way, Mr. Peabody, what was in the secret plans?
04:29Here they are, Sherman. Take a look for yourself.
04:31Oh, my gosh! It's just a picture of a giant blimp!
04:34That giant blimp, Sherman, was to be England's last resort.
04:37In the event they were losing the war, the entire British population was to climb into that blimp and fly
04:42to safety.
04:43I never heard of that before!
04:44Well, of course you have!
04:45Where do you think we got the phrase,
04:47One Nation Indirigible?
04:48Indirigible!
04:49Oh, no!
04:51I warned you, Sherman.
04:53Oh, no!
05:02I warned you, Sherman.
