    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      "Have Guns - Will Haggle" is a reworking of "Invitation To A Killing," the original story intended to introduce Tara King. It was produced by John Bryce who was originally set to take over as main producer on series 7. However, after shooting most of three episodes, Brian Clemens and Albert Fennell were asked to return. It is unclear how much material from "Invitation To A Killing" survived in the rewritten version by Clemens and Fennell.

    9/10
    AN EPISODE LOADED WITH SUSPENSE
    Following in the footsteps of an organization that has seized an arsenal of modern weapons to then auction them to different countries, Steed camouflages himself and tries to enter the large mansion where the auction will take place, meanwhile Tara is captured and will be used as a guinea pig. Indians for the demonstration of the lethal rifles. Personally this is one of the best episodes of this season, the plot is solid and above all it has a great dose of suspense throughout the second half of the chapter, when Tara and Steed, both separately try to escape from the mansion and then Tara is caught. Inside the ammunition room with a lit fuse that does not stop and will blow it up.
