Steed and Cathy plan to
steal £3 million in gold from an obscure vault. Whilst Steed taps the resources of one
J.P. Spagge to pull it off, Cathy is inexplicably arrested, tried and convicted for the
renowned criminal's murder. After learning that her ordeal was a hoax arranged by Spagge's
minions as a test, Cathy arranges the perfect heist—perhaps a little too
perfect...
IMHO |
Exciting, complex and full of interesting characters, this one is solid gold, in spite of a climactic battle that needed some additional rehearsal. Terrific guest cast—in particular, Norman Chappell as the ultimately snobbish manservant Fleming is pure delight, and Edric Connor is sharp and fun as "Abe Lincoln."

Exclusive: Writer Roger Marshall has penned an essay about his tenure on The Avengers.
Neil Wilson appeared in two Police Surgeon episodes, "Smash But No Grab" and "The Bigger They Are."
