Ma Tuttle

"I was just a-wondering if there's anything out at that old mine..."

Ma Tuttle is the mother of Jeremiah Tuttle, who's a field agent (call-sign: Agent 47) for International Rescue.

When she isn't relaxing in her favorite rocking chair, smoking a pipe (and with a rifle resting across her white-aproned lap), on the veranda of their house out in the countryside, Ma fancies creating improvised explosive devices - the most notable of which, is known locally as "Ma's Beans."

The Tuttles both appear in The Impostors, with Ma voiced by Sylvia Anderson.

Biography[]

A Mission to Catch Impostors[]

Remembering Jeremiah's earlier report to Alan of suspicious aircraft-tire tracks, IR leader Jeff Tracy sends Lady Penelope to America to investigate. Jeremiah and his mother set off in their Ford Model T car to meet her...

Penelope Arrives[]

Penelope, Parker, Jeremiah and Ma confer, back at the Tuttle homestead. Plans are made for Penelope to go up to the old mine. Jeremiah volunteers to go after the impostors - he knows the country - but Her Ladyship insists she will deal with them herself...

Ma's Beans to the Rescue![]

When Penelope and Parker finally manage to make their way toward the old mine (the impostors' hideout) - notwithstanding several misadventures, en route - they're spotted by the villains, Carela and Jenkins, who open fire. Fortunately, Jeremiah and his mother followed them into the woods; and Jeremiah expertly flushes out the bad guys - with some sharp-shooting of his own (after Penelope's weapon jams up with mud!), plus a generous serving of Ma's explosive beans. BOOM!
