Plot

Simon Templar is hired by a friend in the book publishing trade to protect one of his stars, a secretive recluse named Amos Klein who writes a popular (and lucrative) series of adventure novels about a manly and suave spy.

Sinekatalog’s take

A breezy spy-adventure mystery that sends a suave troubleshooter to guard a secretive novelist. Light, gadget-friendly and typical of its television-era origins. Easy viewing for fans of sixties capers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
