Storyline
When, unbeknownst to Gloria, a microfilm cassette is left with her by a dying agent, she becomes entangled in a complicated series of events. She's pursued by a dwarf and an albino, and becomes convinced that they are out to kill her. Finally, with the help of San Francisco detective Tony Carlson, she begins to turn the tables on her pursuers. It becomes clear that the nerfarious crew after her are plotting a dastardly deed indeed - to assassinate the Pope as he visits the city to see _The Mikado_. Gloria and Tony must race against time to prevent this terrible crime. Written by Rick Munoz <rick.munoz@his.com>

Trivia
Farrah Fawcett was in line to star in the role of Gloria. But the studio opted for Goldie Hawn when "Spelling-Goldberg ("Charlie's Angels" TV producers) warned all the studios that they would be sued for damages if they employed me," Fawcett told The Associated Press in 1979. Fawcett was still under contract when she left the show. See more »Goofs
