Steed has been put in charge of security for M'sieur Roland; a visiting diplomat who is hoping to help with negotiations concerning problems in the Far East. After an attempt on the man's life Steed is convinced that somebody in the organisation he works for must have leaked details of the visit. He is so convinced that he takes Roland's place and sure enough somebody tries to kill him; he is only saved because Dr King tackles the would-be assassin. While Steed is looking for a leak others in the organisation, including superior One-Twelve, suspect that Steed may be the leak. Ultimately it will be up to Steed and Dr King to find the leak and get to his associates before Roland is killed.
This is a solid early episode, one of three where Steed is partnered with Dr Martin King. The case is interesting and there are plenty of suspects who could be the leak, including One Twelve. There is a good amount of action and some fairly tense scenes when it looks as if Dr King was unable to turn up when Steed needed his back up and later when the villain captures Dr King. The villain's motives are entirely plausible. Patrick Macnee is on fine form as Steed and Jon Rollason is also pretty solid as Dr King. Also notable are Arthur Hewlett who plays One Twelve and Anne Godley who plays the wife of a possible suspect. Overall a pretty decent episode.
