- Topper goes on an ordinary business trip, but because of the language used, the ghosts misinterpret it as some sort of high-level espionage mission.
- The bank's branch in Lisbon, South Carolina is not being well managed. It's largest account owner, Harry Devon, has threatened to move his business elsewhere. Topper's boss, Mr. Schuyler, asks Cosmo to catch a train down there and straighten things out. He is supposed to phone the Washington, D.C. branch manager, Isaac "Ike" Lester, and meet him at the train station to go south together. George and Marion are watching a TV spy program when they hear a news item that the president is sending a special delegation of State Department officials and financial advisers to Lisbon for an undisclosed mission. When they overhear Topper call Ike in Washington for their train station rendezvous, Geroge and Marion are chomping at the bit to shadow him. They think he is involved in a real spy caper so sneak onto the train to protect him. They fear a woman who follows him to the club car is going to poison him. Using dematerialization, they manage to switch plates and glasses in case there is poison in anything. The couple in the compartment adjacent to Topper's are going to Lisbon, too. The husband fixes a radio and is then going to take a nap and sets an alarm clock. George and Marion are sure he is fabricating a time bomb. They enter the room, push the man's bed into its closed position against the wall and tear everything apart. Topper goes in to release the poor man from his closed berth just as the conductor and the wife return. They are ready to prosecute him until invisible George saves the day by making the berth close "on its own" in front of everyone. The man is then grateful, even more so when he finds out who Topper is. The neighboring couple was none other than Harry Devon and his wife, the unhappy bank clients. Mr. Schuyler is complimentary of Cosmo's handling of the mess.—Garon Smith
