- After losing her client's $50,000 and getting a knock on the head in the bargain, Honey West is more determined than ever to break up a blackmail ring that preys on wealthy middle-aged women.
- Honey and Sam go undercover to catch a gang of blackmailers who seduce wealthy women and take compromising photos. Using Honey as bait and Sam as a freelance gigolo, the team stakes out a resort where the gang is known to operate. The assignment gets more dangerous when the detectives realize that an apparent accidental death is really the blackmailers covering their tracks with murder. The blackmailers first target Honey but, discovering her true identity, plan to lure her and Sam into a deadly trap.
Honey and Sam begin to suspect the trap, however, when they realize one of the crooks is following them. Sam knocks him out and leaves him tied up. Honey enters the blackmailers' house first, radio's Sam for help, hits the crooks with gas, and then the detectives subdue all of the blackmailers in hand-to-hand combat.
This first episode of the series ends with Aunt Meg and Bruce the ocelot watching Honey and Sam practicing judo in the middle of the livingroom. Honey says she's had enough, and Sam leaves. Aunt Meg advises Honey that you have to let the man win once in a while. Honey, who seems to have actually lost the match, assures Aunt Meg that she is "a sore loser."
Episode contains recurring plot points and gimmicks such as teasing repartee between Sam and Honey; Honey being knocked unconcious (in this case by a sap or blackjack); radio-compact, radio-sunglasses, radio-lipstick, and gasmask-garterbelt; and costume changes involving, in this case, flashier, gaudier outfits than usual. Judo is used in almost every fight scene. This episode has interesting villains in that the apparent leader of the blackmailers turns out to be a mama's boy whose Ma Barker-like mother is the real head of the gang.
