*Plot analyzed*

This was a Quinn Martin Production. I rather enjoyed it. Although it was nothing spectacular, it was a decent 1970s production. Very short at fifty minutes.

A female and male, both special agents, work together with the help of a super computer. Who they work for was never explained.

Morgan Fairchild was actually pretty good, but she made a lot of annoying wisecracks that got wearisome. Granville Van Dusen is her counterpart, who rejects her sexual advances at every turn. I don't think that Morgan Fairchild could even fight any males either. Likewise, Granville Van Dusen does not carry a gun.

They search for a missing female agent that has left a great deal of clues. The episode is helped by location shooting in San Francisco and the Bay Area.

I liked the quirky music and the also the "shrinking box frame" at the end of each cliffhanger moment before cutting to a commercial.

Supposedly this was a television pilot that never got picked up.

I wouldn't have minded seeing two or three seasons of this show.
