Yakob Borb President of The Balkan Republic is in The UK signing off on a trade deal, but his life is threatened, unable to get close and offer protection, Steed manages to get singer Venus Smith close to him.
What an incredibly frustrating episode this was, nowhere near as good as the first two from this series, somehow it feels really outdated, even for the early sixties.
Even the big showdown in the wrestling ring just falls flat, all too stagey and slow, the big reveal, wasn't exactly a surprise.
There's no Cathy Gale, Steed instead has to seek the help of Venus Smith.
The one thing I really did enjoy, the presence and performance of Philip Madoc, definitely a cut above, handsome and menacing, I'm always surprised he didn't make it big, he should have.
5/10.
