The Decoy is the seventh episode of the second season of the popular spy comedy series Get Smart. The show follows the exploits of bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart, also known as Agent 86, as he battles international threats with the help of his partner Agent 99 and gadgets provided by their agency, CONTROL.

In this episode, Agent 86 is tasked with protecting a beautiful and wealthy widow, Mrs. Trueheart, who has amassed a collection of valuable jewels and artwork. Suspicious of a potential theft attempt, CONTROL assigns Smart to act as a decoy for the real Mrs. Trueheart, who is being secretly moved to a safe location.
