One of the show's best.

The car of Scientist Doctor John Forbes is stolen from outside a nuclear research establishment, the diamond thieves foolishly open a box containing radioactive material, and face immediate danger to their health.

This is a fine episode, with a very good storyline, one I imagine would have been quite advanced and ahead of its time for 1959. One of the best I've seen for some time. Tension, suspense and a good pace. Maguire and team have little time to track them down.

Definitely a case of when thieves fall out, you wouldn't want to be part of that team.

You can always tell with this series when writer Brian Clemens has had a hand in an episode, there is a real cleverness and sense of imagination behind this one.

Maguire once again does a great job at repeatedly shouting everything everyone says, subtlety was not this Mounty's strong point.

8/10.

Ian Hendry has a role in this as one of the villians, in fac he stars in it for more than some of the credited actors. Lt was a good series that didn't lag by extending the play time.
