A businessman meets a woman for a blind date and she
immediately shoots him.
He's not the only one though, and the Avengers are called in
to investigate a spate of similar deaths that seem linked to
an introduction agency.
The plot's a bit like" "Strangers on a Train" - the agency
facilitates the murder of inconvenient relatives for its
members, while providing alibis for them by making sure
they're seen elsewhere at the time of death, the attractive
Barbara Wakefield being their chief assassin.
The Avengers fake Emma's death at Steed's hand, then defeat
the members of the agency in their offices. Steed and Mrs Peel
depart in a hearse.
