After assassinating him and taking his place, the Torrance an his cohort, Mullins, team up with Doctor Prator, a shady plastic surgeon; together they hatch a scheme to find other vagrants that resemble top officials, and then to replace them. But after replacing a politician, the substitute dies of a heart attack, and Steed begins to suspect something is amiss. Realising the implications of such a plan, and knowing that anyone could be a double-agent, Steed leaves Purdey out of the assignment, instead sending Gambit to the Mission for the Distressed and Needy. Here, posing as a drunk, Gambit is recruited and trained to replace the  real Gambit. Purdey uncovers the plan, and goes undercover herself as  Lolita , a tart who needs a new identity. As  Lolita and  Gambit suspect each other, another vagrant has been found to replace Steed. As friend suspect friend, the masterminds behind the plot are uncovered, and the deadly scheme is thwarted. <BR><BR>Patrick Macnee (<B>John Steed</B>), Gareth Hunt (<B>Mike Gambit</B>), Joanna Lumley (<B>Purdey</B>), David De Keyser (<B>Dr. Prator</B>), Edward Petherbridge (<B>Mullins</B>), Richard Leech (<B>Craig</B>), Neil Hallet (<B>Clifford</B>), Annabel Leventon (<B>Wendy</B>), David Webb (<B>Bilston</B>), Donald Hewlett (<B>Torrance</B>), J.G.
