Synopsis courtesy of RJDoll2:

Jeff Walker is a handsome villain, thanks to Jeremy Brett. Brettish fans will swoon as their beloved Jeremy portrays the lover/thief/con man/murderer in this episode. The viewer will be aware of his slightly Americanized accent and delivery of such lines as "Don't you know Kitten, I'm, I'm gonna kill ya" are not to be missed.

The tall, dark and rather brooding Jeff, along with his "silent" female partner, must decide who lives to share their spoils. Greed, betrayal, sex and murder come together to make for a very entertaining installment of this British television series. Jeremy's abundant talents are evident. As he portrays the villain, one finds his virile sexiness mesmerizing. If you didn't think you could ever be attracted to someone committing murder, think again!
