Mannering and Cordelia arrive in a small Balkan state to broker an antiques deal with the widow of its former president, only to find she is on the run. The general seeks both the money and Madame Nicharos in order to strengthen his hold on power.
The Baron is similar to the Saint, very English in its style,but what makes it unique is that the hero - Mannering - is an American. Steve Forrest plays him, though he lacks the charm of the Saint ( Roger Moore), he still has a likebility and he's little more hard boiled. He is assisted by Sue Lloyd as his sidekick.
Derek Godfrey plays a really horrid character, a pantomime-style villainous general who wants Madame Nicharos dead so he can rule the state. The Baron does what he does best by helping Madame and the rest the usual quota of fisticuffs, double dealings, adventure and danger. A satisfying episode, if a little routine.
