The mysterious death of a friend of Cordelia's in the French Alps leads Mannering to uncover a plot to sell a particularly lethal strain of germ warfare.
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. He is assisted by Paul Ferris as his sidekick.
In this episode, a pen is mightier than the sword, mainly because an agent steals a deadly germ warfare item, places it in the pen, and later dies for it. Mannering that the pen holds the key - cue: the villains and the baton hunting for it. A busy, yet standard plot - but there's some decent fist fights. The baron, at one point, gets attacked by a blow torch.
