The Persuaders!: Chain of Events (1971)
Season 1, Episode 11
9/10
Persauders or Avengers?
15 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
One of the better "Persuaders" episodes finds Danny (Tony Curtis) chained to a mysterious briefcase everyone wants. He doesn't know what's in it, he just wants it off while on the run from everyone (including Peter Vaughan in a strange performance).

Suzanna Leigh makes a persuasive appearance as one of his pursuers. Her determination and her skill at some sort of oriental fighting technique are reminiscent of Honor Blackman in "The Avengers." She also has a similar hairstyle to Blackman's (though she lacks the black leather). And Curtis is no John Steed, dressed in an American-frontier buckskin replete with ridiculously long fringe.

This is a largely Curtis episode; Moore makes middling appearances.
