When the story begins, Mannix is flown into Catalina Island off the Coast of California. Despite the obvious landmarks that show it's Catalina, you are soon told that Mannix is in South America...in some craptastic land in which revolutionaries abound, San Leone. As for Mannix, he's there looking for someone in order to complete a seemingly easy task. Little does he know that soon the revolutionaries will be paying him a lot of attention.
While I have never been to Catalina, I've sure seen it in plenty of 1970s TV shows like "Quincy" and "Cannon" and the red and white casino is clearly seen as the show began. Because of this, it took me out of the episode and seemed pretty cheesy. Well, that's one strike against this episode.
Apart from that, this is just a fair episode. Mannix gets beaten up a lot (almost like a season one episode) and the show seems to have been stetched out to feaure length...with an ordinary (at best) story.
