Undertakers arrive with a coffin to
take away a businessman—before he is dead! When Steed goes looking for the man he was to
escort to New York City, he finds him locked away, inaccessible, in an exclusive
retirement home. When the man's neighbor winds up in the same place under strange
circumstances, Cathy shows up at the home as an employee to find impostors taking their
places.
IMHO |
Quite, quite confusing, and rather soapy around the edges, too. It's all to
do with the 80% inheritance tax, and some devious means to get around it. For only 20%,
The Undertakers will assure your dearly deceased millionaire husband will "live on" for another
five years, after which the tax can be avoided. Lally Bowers single-handedly wins this
episode its second bowler as a bright-eyed nutcase.
Trivia |
This episode was unusual in that it featured (mourning) black lettering instead of the usual white for the titles. Contributed by Simon Ball.
