Steed discovers that somebody is flooding the market with cheap imitations of medical products being manufactured by the Willis-Sopwith Pharmaceutical Company. Furthermore, there is a plan to distribute poisoned medicines in an oil-rich Middle Eastern country to start a revolution and drive out the British companies there.
John Steed asks Mrs. Cathy Gale's help with a business espionage case. It seems that some Asian firm – Hong Kong, Taiwan or Korean, Steed doesn't know – is manufacturing a knock-off of an important British medical drug, and selling them to a former British Arabic colony. Steed's agency isn't only concerned with the lost revenue for the English corporation, but also the fact that these perpetrators are undermining the British government's attempts to negotiate oil contracts, treaties and other business arrangements with the former colony.
Cathy uses an unseen friend to translate the Arabic dialect for her, and does some initial investigation of the British medical firm posing as an efficiency expert. (This was Cathy's first try as an efficiency expert – an undercover role that Mrs. Emma Peel would use a few times.) It is while at the firm that Mrs. Gale discovers that a more heinous plot is under foot.
This is another Malcolm Hulke written episode. Although he also wrote pieces involving Mrs. Peel and Tara King, he wrote mainly for Mrs. Gale, including one the best televised science fiction episodes, The White Dwarf. This is not in that class. For one, pharmaceuticals aren't all that sexy of a science fiction plot. Secondly, you could tell that the producers weren't all that satisfied with the direction of the script.
It seems that Kim Mills, the director, is doing all that she can to minimize the science fiction elements of the story
and yes, they come up with more of a spy-fi centered story (which is probably what you would want for a show about British spies)
but a very boring one. There are a lot of plot mistakes that come from changing the genre of the story. No compelling explanation as to why this drug is needed is given. Yes, it can put you to sleep, but yeah? It is not a Statin or Viagra. Sleeping drugs in the sixties were very common. Many Arabic companies were producing their own opiates. And focusing on the knock-off aspects of the story is a real drag.
Plus, the villain in the piece starts off as a petty thief, but some of the information that Cathy stumbles upon upgrades his/her (sorry, but telling you who the villain is would be a spoiler) activities to that of a megalomaniac. That upgrade would have worked well in a science fiction episode, but falls flat in a spy-fi tale. Well defined, established villains are needed in spy-fi's...like the U.S.S.R., Spectre, or a nuclear armed Nazi.
Monica Stevenson provides the best acting of the supporting characters as Fay, the two-timing model. There weren't that many stand out performances. And unlike Gale's, Steed's undercover turn was forgettable.
After trying their best to integrate different types of stories into plots of other Gale story lines, I'm confused as to why the production team chopped up a sci-fi story. (Although, there might be a reasonable explanation: At the time of this broadcast, Sydney Newman, the creator of The Avengers, had already announced he was leaving, and was being sued by ABC. Also, ABC had brought back Brian Clemons and made him Co-Creator for the show. Maybe, there was a lot of backroom drama going on.)
After a woman, who had been looking into the faking of a company's products in the overseas market is killed in a Turkish baths Steed and Mrs Gale start to investigate. We soon learn that the company which makes cosmetic creams as well as medicines has seen its products copied by rivals from the Far East who are selling an inferior product in similar containers. To counter this the company have decided to completely change their packaging; the problem is somebody working there has leaked the new design and they aren't just intending to make an easy profit; they intend to put poison in the product in order to turn an oil-rich Anglophile country against the British so a rival nation can gain access to the oil wealth. Before the truth is exposed Steed and Cathy spend time in the company trying to find who is behind the fake products and Cathy goes to the Turkish baths.
I really liked this episode; the investigation of fake products seems fresh even when the episode is over fifty years old. It was interesting that the greater plot wasn't exposed till relatively late in the story but when it was revealed it served to raise the tension and explain why the villains went to such lengths to hide their schemes. The identity of the villains isn't in that much doubt for the most part but one of them is quite a surprise. The cast do a solid job in a story that seems more grounded in reality than many of the stories in the series.
