5/10
Not especially good.

A rather bad episode of "Secret Agent" is still worth seeing--so you may want to see this weak effort. I say weak because the plot has too many holes--holes that should have been plugged before the script was shot.

The show begins with a British man being set up for murdering a famous actress in a Cuba-like nation. It seems that this would be both a good way to get rid of the actress and frame a Western nation for her death. As Drake is friends with the wanted man, it's not surprising he goes to this country to find him, as the wanted man is still in hiding from the police. Along with Juana, a pretty lady who works for the Ministry of Culture, Drake works to get the man to safety.

There are a lot of problems with this one--primarily the lady from the Ministry. She knows that the Englishman is wanted for murder--yet, completely inexplicably, she aids Drake to get the man to safety and is, in essence, a traitor. Her motivation is vague and it really made no sense. Additionally, at the end, a trap is sprung on the wanted man and Drake. Yet, although four guys with guns capture them, Drake beats them up and they escape!! Logical, no. Enjoyable, moderately.
