There is just something about the theme music that forgives just about everything else with these entertaining, if unchallenging mysteries. This one sees the suave Don Stannard in the title role, on the trail of some dastardly villains bent on world domination using a mind-controlling frequency. Director Godfrey Grayson offers us quite a well paced intrigue with plenty of action, the double-dealing "Tina" (Jean Lodge) and a tense little conclusion that passes an hour easily enough. The production is basic, and in this particular story the audio effects of their device did prove to be actually quite annoying after a while. Luckily there is no real jeopardy whatsoever so that's soon sorted out. Though entirely predictable, I still quite enjoyed it.
