A Man is killed and then set up to look like he hanged himself. Peter investigates and seconds later, Jacobi shows up. This happens so often that even Jacobi is spooked about this kind of coincidence. Sometimes it seems the good lieutenant is the only cop in this fictitious city.
Anyway, clues lead Peter to a New Age cult outside of town where a ---- actor does a poor job trying to sound "foreign". Somethat that man actually hires Gunn to go halfway around the world searching for a woman who ripped him off for $2,000.
Pete, a la the movie "Out Of The Past" except the locale is Europe not south of the border, tracks down the lovely "Joanna Lund" (Marion Marshall). He's enamored with her, which is ludicrous when you think of the gorgeous babe, "Edie" (Lola Albright), he has at home. (A Tiger Woods syndrome, I guess).
Peter delivers all kinds of sappy lines that aren't like him (pretty women will do that to men) but then things get serious when bad guy/New Age guru "Ahben Vanesku" (Theodore Marcus, who loves and sounds a lot like Gavin MacLeod) - tracks Peter and Joanna down, Several major twists and turns occur in the final segment, so I'll stop here.
Overall, not bad, and definitely different for a Peter Gunn show. Oh, Buddy Baer as "Clarence" was pretty interesting, too. He liked to go around and strangle people and then make it look a suicide.
