''[[Agent for |
''[[Agent for H.A.R.M.]]'' is a 1965 American Spy Movie. |

The plot concerns the development and distribution of a biological warfare compound referred to as "spore." Said spore turns humans into "living fungus," rather quickly and is apparently painless. Comrade Basil Malko is developing the spore to destroy the population of the United States by dusting the crops. The only man that can stop him is Dr. Jan Stefanik, a biologist from behind the [[Iron Curtain]]. |

* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: Since Ava was stupid enough to register for the Vienna Archery Competition using her ''real'' name, Adam easily caught her...after it was too late to actually do much except arrest her after she'd essentially done everything she set out to do short of escaping. So both of these morons get a round of applause for their ineptitude at their jobs. |
