A woman who witnessed a murder at a casino, after having fled the country, is returning to testify against the guilty man. Paul has followed her on the plane from Bermuda, but as soon as she arrives at the Paris airport, a sniper on the roof of a carpark tries to kill her. Another one of Harry's operatives confronts the shooter, but both of them wind up shot.
Chrissie, the target, complains to her uncle, George Dixon, the club owner, that she doesn't like the idea of people being hired to protect her without her consent. Harry takes her to a hotel to hide out for 3 days, warning her not to open the blinds. Harry & Caroline track down the garage that modified the car driven by the hit man, but find the garage owner shot dead. On their return to the hotel, Paul is unconscious, and Chrissie has gone missing!
At the casino, no one wants to talk, but Harry cosies up to a girl and bribes her with roulette winnings. She says she'll meet him in the carpark, but when Harry arrives, she's shot dead! However, Caroline was parked there, and saw the killer was Dixon. Harry & Caroline confront Dixon, who it turns out was one-third of a bullion robbery. He decided to cut out his partners by killing one, and getting his niece to frame the other. She shows up, safe, but gun in hand. Caroline uses a trick cigarette rigged with fireworks as a distraction, and she & Harry overpower the crooks.
Later, while being driven around Paris, Caroline eyes a sleeping Harry in the back of the car and compliments him on being an attractive man... until he opens his eyes, then she says he has a sneaky, deceitful personality.
I sometimes wonder if the actors are talking extra fast, or if some of these episodes have been sped up. Robert Vaughn certainly seemed to be talking faster than normal in this one, though, unlike, say, when CBS actually did speed up THE NEW AVENGERS, during its 3rd run in the mid-80s, nothing else seems sped up.
A couple of familiar faces in this one. Dixon was George Baker, who was in a couple of DOCTOR WHO stories ("The Three Doctors", "The Monster Of Peladon") as well as playing "Sir Hillary Bray" in "ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE". (Absurdly, in that film, when George Lazenby is impersonating Bray, Baker dubbed Lazenby's voice.) Chrissie is Stephanie Beachum, who I've seen in DRACULA A. D. 1972, AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS, and, decades later, an episode of CHARMED.
I couldn't believe it when, at the casino, I spotted 2 more familiar faces. One was a tall, round-faced bald guy, and next to him, a woman wth bright red hair. It was Gerry & Sylvia Anderson.
