The bodies of two wealthy women found buried vertically head down lead April and Mark to a circus troupe of Hollywood gypsies somewhere in France, whose leader, Sadvaricci (Lloyd Bochner) has evolved a scheme to part them from their fortunes aided and abetted by his mother, played by Gladys Cooper no less. There are a two or three good action sequences, including April being shot at while on the high trapeze prior to being challenged to a knife fight, though in both incidents the aggressor is a jealous rival. The relationship and affectionate dialogue between the two agents sometimes bears a similarity to that between Modesty Blaise and her sidekick Willie Garvin. Although the story is not quite as inane as some of the others in the series, there is barely enough to sustain fifty minutes and the whole event somehow fails to add up to the sum of its parts.
