This one is about an imposter of Joe being created so the imposter can steal some jewels from Joe's client in London.
This is the second appearance for the always reliable John Vernon and he's excellent as usual as Dexter, the villain, which of course is nothing new for him since he ALWAYS plays villains. He previously appeared in the horrendous Shadow Play episode from last season but he's in a far better episode this time. I loved how he was able to quickly adjust when the prospectors first showed up and was totally nonchalant and smiled at them and engaged them in conversation and acted as if nothing was going on. He's a great actor. The performances from the rest of the cast are solid too.
This is a rare episode that shows a police captain. Hardly ever is anyone with a rank higher than lieutenant shown and the various lieutenants that appear on the show are hardly ever seen consulting with their superiors as Malcolm does here.
The real voice of Joe's double is really funny and it turns out it's the voice of Dick Ziker, the stunt coordinator. I love his voice.
There's some great action, including fights and shootouts. Dexter and his goons put up a good fight but it all came crashing down on them in the end.
Joe gets clobbered over the head and knocked out and also gets shot at. He also comes up with a unique way to take out his double at the end. It's pretty awesome.
This is an enjoyable, exciting and entertaining episode if you choose to suspend disbelief about the creation of Joe's double, which I did. There's lots of action, great performances from the cast and a terrific ending. This is one of the best episodes of the season.
