The Avengers

Season 1, 1961 - Episode 9

Ashes Of Roses

by Peter Ling and Sheilagh Ward

Mendelssohn, a known arsonist, has been hired by the Beronnes to burn down their hairdressing salon for the insurance. Using Carol to gather evidence, Steed finds that the hairdressers will stop at nothing (including several murders) to achieve their aim. Steed's timely intervention prevents Carol from being the next victim of the firebomber.
