On his way to Paris, George (Robert Hardy) has a vision that his
brother is shot, and ruching back to London, he has to find out that this
is exactly what had happened, his brother was shot dead ... and the
culprit is a certain Albert Ketch (Terence De Marney) - which George just
refuses to believe, so he starts to do a little snooping of his own ... to
ultimately find out that the real killer is his own fiancée Julie
(Jennifer Raine), who always thought George's brother kept him from
getting ahead in business and in society, so she decided to resolve this
little problem ... Boris Karloff, who is also the series' host, is
wasted in this episode in a comic role as an opinionated cop who is
constantly corrected by his assistant Patrick Macnee. Less then
great TV murder mystery that at first puts a great emphasis on its lead's
vision - only to then forget all about it for the rest of the story -
makes you wonder why mention it in the first place ...
