Colonel Vasili Krassinkov (Nigel Green) is from the KGB and has broke into Harry Rule's apartment with his armed heavies.
Krassinkov wants to hire the Protectors. An intriguing offer that Harry cannot refuse.
The target is Russian dissident scientist Professor Schelpin (Laurence Naismith) who defected to the west. Krassinkov claims that Schelpin will release a deadly biological weapon that will kill millions.
It is a race against time, as Harry believes that the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing will be the date when germ warfare will begin.
The story very much has the espionage feel of that era. Nigel Green in his final television role appeared in The Ipcress File.
So there is always uncertainty and mistrust in the proceedings. Just a shame that it felt a bit pedestrian.
