To prevent a corporate merger, 4 mercenaries are hired to kidnap the daughter of a prominent businessman. Harry, Caroline & Paul are hired to protect Vicki, whose father insists, "She must never know. Can you imagine the effect it would have on a ten-year-old?" As Caroline & Paul look at Harry, they know, HE KNOWS. (His wife & son were kidnapped in the previous season.)
Taking Vicki out of school and to a small house in the country, Harry poses as a teacher, Paul a chauffer and Caroline a houskeeper. Unexpectedly, this turns out to be fun episode. Especially when, in the middle of the night, 3 of the men (the 4th already having been captured) break in. As a free-for-all commences, it's accompanied with wild, frenetic violin music, turning the fight into a light-hearted affair. This may be the closest this show ever came to feeling like THE AVENGERS.
The next day, allowed to go outside again, Vicki asks Harry if he's sure. "Have I ever lied to you?" She nods in the affirmative. "On a Wednesday?"
I might have missed him if I hadn't seen his name in the credits. The only guest-actor I know in this was the guy who played the father's assistant, who was only in one brief scene and had maybe 3 lines-John Normington. I'll always remember him for his 2 roles on DOCTOR WHO-the first as Morgus, arguably one of the most evil bastards in the show's entire history, and the second, as the census man in "The Happiness Patrol". The first time I saw that, I had no idea I'd seen him before!
