Martha (My Secret Identity)

Martha

Martha (Gwynyth Walsh), is a secondary antagonist from the 80's superhero/spoof show My Secret Identity, appearing in the episode For Old Time's Sake. She never uses the name Martha in the show.

She is a well dressed and good looking woman, early 30's, but she is secretly an industrial espionage spy who along with a male companion plans to sabotage a project for airless tires in motor cars.

The plan almost works, the doc almost a victim of the femme fatale spy's wiles, but her male companion who is posing as a lookalike of the scientist is rumbled by the young hero.

The teen superhero and the doc then pursue the fleeing she-spy through the hotel corridors in a hotel service trolley which they have appropriated, propelled at super speeds by the teen superhero's powers ,she is knocked out cold when the trolley collides with her, loaded onto the trolley and later onto the sofa, out stone cold.

Later, the doctor and Andrew foil the machinations of her male colleague trying to sabotage the demonstration. He is captured and unmasked, and what becomes of Martha is left unknown.
