Double Danger

by Gerald Verner*

Two thieves steal valuable diamonds, but one is shot as he escapes. Steed has no clues, until Carol decyphers a call for help from Dr Keel: he is being forced to treat the wounded man. The man dies, but gives Keel "Bartholomew's Plot" as a clue to the location of the hidden diamonds. Keel is forced to reveal this clue to the gang or they will kill Carol, but Steed already has the diamonds by the time they arrive at Bartholomew's cottage. The police wrap-up the case as the Avengers go to dinner.

Minutiæ

* John Lucarotti wrote the episode but, apparently displeased with changes made the script, demanded his name be removed from it before broadcast. The name "Gerald Verner" was substituted on the final scripts (and his name crossed out on the rehearsal scripts) and on-air credits.
