It also has a sewer system known to those who saw two villains trapped in it for many a long mortal episode. It has a symphony orchestra-a villainess has set up an alibi at one performance.

Janet promptly informs the errant Tony that he has defiled their five-year marriage and that she is heading for Reno to be decontaminated. Poor Tony begs his old pal, Dean Martin, a TV writer, to cook up an alibi to placate Janet. Dean's idea: Tony is really an undercover FBI man, and the girl he kissed is an enemy agent spying on a secret Government project at Columbia...
