    • Goofs
      The wrestling programme perused by Steed at the Islington Baths is clearly blank inside; only the cover was mocked-up for the production.

    Balkan leader is threatend with assassination
    Steed is put in charge of protecting a visiting Balkan leader who is trying to extort money from the West. Typical confusing and non-circuitous plot emblematic of the early episodes. No Cathy Gale in this episode. Julie Stevens was effective as Steed's assistant Venus Smith, who contributed two musical numbers. The members of the Balkan delegation were stereotypically arrogant, brutish and corrupt. Too many wrestling sequences slowed the progression of tge plot.
