This script made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Jason King is fabulous and his sideburns carry the whole episode. Characters appear (the "master" at the beginning) and just as quickly disappear. Some kind of contest where only the woman wears hot pants.
There's a hired killing organization in London. There's a clinic in Switzerland (more 16mm stock footage, please). There's a hi-tech bank vault run by a "Professor" There's Hitlers lost astrological journals. There's a redhead stewardess that gets involved in everything. There's whatshisname the bumbling MI6 ginger who comes out of the shower in a ridiculous shower cap. There's a scope camera and an assembly of a sniper rifle. There's a hit man who has a small stroke and then a fatal coronary. None of these items fit together except the rifle. The professor's wife is having an affair with the Doctor from the clinic and they want to sell the Nazi Journal in the Professor's hi-tech bank to Argentinian Nazis (never seen) so they hire a hit man to appear to kill the Professor but just to graze him so someone will think he's dead? But they actually want him dead. So Jason King saves the real hit man who happens to have a mild stroke on the plane conveniently across the row from Jason ... you get the idea. Some writer(s) had a bunch of ideas that they strung together like some dysfunctional Christmas bulbs. I loved it. Especially the smoking, everywhere, and the costume changes. Brilliant. Stupid. Brilliant.
