Evan Robley, international jewel thief, is staying at he
same consulate as the queen of Malakar, Kathryn (Juliet Mills), and so IADC
sends Steve and Diana undercover to find out his motives. When the queen’s
jewels are stolen, all fingers point to Robley, who is also incognito, as a
federal agent, but Wonder Woman’s truth lasso reveals his innocence. The three
work together to catch the real thief, a sinister “ambassador” lured into
confession by Robley himself.
Thickly-plotted and talky but solid episode is about as
serious s last week’s show was tongue-in-cheek. A classic whodunit with a
star-spangled twist, this one really does put the viewer to work, but its payoffs
are worth the effort. Suave Robley is played with Ricardo Montalban-esque charm
by character actor David Hedison, and the ever-elegant Juliet Mills fills her
role, and her dress, quite nicely. Above-average.
