This is one of the more lighthearted Mannix episodes, which makes a good change from the often downbeat plots that all detective series have. This one is more of a caper. There are some clever plot developments, and one big moment that had me going, "What?!" When Joe's conduct seemed to me to come out of left field. But in an episode such as this, you don't want to examine the plot too closely.
This time, the guest stars are nearly all English, which is fun! I'm sure they enjoyed hobnobbing with each other while making this show. Marianne McAndrew does a good job as the sexy lady guest star. One of the nice aspects of Mannix is that most weeks, there is a different beautiful lady appearing on the show, in addition to Joe's stalwart and attractive secretary/friend/assistant, Peggy.
Also nice in this episode, is that we get to see some really appearing exterior scenes. It's always a plus when a show opens up the action and doesn't keep the viewer stuck in a couple of sound-stage rooms for the whole hour.
I wasn't sure exactly how this one was going to wind up, because there were more twists and now-I-have-the-gun, now-you-have-the gun moments than I remember on any other episode! I think the ending was satisfying, and I imagine you will also.
