Mannering attends the funeral of Jim Carey, a former army colleague. After receiving a message that Carey is still alive, Mannering agrees to go undercover for Templeton-Green. An elaborate plan to steal a $ 1 m jewel is bad enough but becomes worse when Cordelia is used as a hostage to ensure that the Baron cooperates with Carey.
The Baron is similar to the Saint, very English in its style,but what makes it unique is that the hero - Mannering - is an American. Steve Forrest plays him, though he lacks the charm of the Saint ( Roger Moore), he still has a likebility and he's little more hard boiled. Assisting him is Sue Lloyd as Cordelia.
In this episode, Mannering finds himself knee deep in a heist - he has to help a gang led by Patricia Haines - a great villainess - to pull it - under coercion, of course. It's fast-paced, has tense moments such as when Mannering tries to pry his transmitter from a drain with a thug not too far away as well as the actual heist. It's great fun and ends with a neat action scene.
