With a cast that includes John Standing playing a university student when he is pushing 30. It is hard to figure out who are the students and who are the lecturers.
Inspired by the the likes of the Cambridge Four who were revealed in 1963 as Russian agents. Steed is investigating a spy ring at a prestigious university. Venus Smith is also at hand singing jazz numbers at a university event.
It looks like a femme fatale is luring her admirers to forge signatures on a cheque and they then find themselves open to blackmail.
A suspicious death of a tutor is passed off as a suicide by the police. Venus is sent face cream which contains acid. It is a good job she did not like the smell of it.
Steed's job is not to get the foot soldiers but the actual ring leader. It is not pretty hard to guess who that is.
There is plenty of things that happen but it is all rather routine and even confusing. The blackmail part is rather hackneyed. Thankfully Venus only sings a few snippets of songs. It does look like an episode that emerged with rumours of British toffs as Soviet spies in the press.
