Summary[]
There is a card shark working NASA over. Neither Dr. Bellows or Genera Schaeffer know who it is or whether he's a civilian or officer. Then Tony enters the office and suggests a game of poker. Tony wins and Roger thinks Jeannie helped. After Tony and Roger, thanks to Jeannie, win big at a poker game which the Nelsons hosted, they are under suspicion of being card sharks. Tony and Roger explain to Jeannie who blinks in a magic chair so whoever is sitting in it wins. The mobsters who are the real card sharks believe that Roger is a card shark too, and give him an ultimatum: win for them or take a swim in the river wearing cement shoes. Tony is none the wiser until Roger tells him in the kitchen.
