Avengers Cast

A man named Rhodes is the victim of a car crash, but when he arrives at the hospital, the doctors find £50,000 worth of diamonds in his stomach. Steed and Mrs. Peel investigate Rhodes' ventriloquist shop, and then the owner of the diamonds, Mr. Litoff, whose company, the Litoff Organisation, is one of the world's great financial empires, but which is also mysteriously in the process of converting all of its assets into cash. Mr. Litoff's number two woman is Miss Pegram, who seems to be running the company; Mr. Litoff is only ever being heard over an intercom. When Steed attempts to return the diamonds he provokes little interest; when Mrs. Rhodes attempts to blackmail Miss Pegram she is instead killed. Meanwhile, Mrs. Peel investigates a pet cemetery and finds the body of Mr. Litoff in the grave of his own dog, Bellhound. It soon becomes clear that a lot more than £50,000 is at stake...
