Overall (0-10)	Great moments, and fine performances by a strong cast, but it's not an entirely satisfactory package. It doesn't really fit the otherworldliness of the rest of the season.					7½ stars

A puppeteer is injured in a car accident, and his x-rays show a stomach full of diamonds - "High on carat, low in protein.", as one of the doctors says.
The Avengers are called in to examine, but before they can question the puppeteer, Dusty Rhodes, he is killed in his hospital bed by a man masquerading as a doctor. Steed does, however, stumble onto a slick smuggling operation. Alex Litoff died some weeks earlier, but his staff have hidden the truth to give them time to liquidate the millionaire's assets. Litoff's body was buried in place of one of his Borzois at the Happy Valley Resting Place for pets, the dog - supposed to have been killed - now residing with the widow of Rhodes. She tries to blackmail the smugglers and is killed for her trouble. The authorities exhume Litoff's body just as the villains plan to leave and Miss Pegram decides to kill the Avengers to stop them catching up with them. After a short fight, the crooks come quietly.
Steed is left with two Borzois and a bright yellow tie with a dalmatian on it but being an Englishman means he likes dogs and ties, but not dogs on his ties.
