"Blackmail Order Bride" opens with Majors Nelson and Healey being hailed after a successful lunar mission, with George Furth as nosy reporter Charlie Farnum, desperate to get an exclusive on the reclusive Nelson. Posing as a plumber, he manages to get past Jeannie and plant a hidden video recorder inside Tony's house. After Farnum's evidence is destroyed by Jeannie, a strange woman shows up with two kids in Dr. Bellows' office, claiming to be his wife and sons. Jeannie is devastated to think that Tony deserted his wife and family, the perfect headline for Farnum's sensational story, and seeks a divorce in Reno, Persia. Major Nelson completely unburdens himself and with Jeannie's help shows Farnum all the evidence he needs to prove his story to Dr. Bellows. Fortunately, the good doctor refuses to believe the wild tale, and with his photos again reduced to nothing Farnum has no story to publish, his blackmail scheme undone. George Furth was a busy character player who excelled in obnoxious types, perfectly cast as the snoop.
