Airdate:
12/22/78
A British financier named Thackeray plans to smuggle
counterfeit plates into the U.S., to exchange for gold from a two-bit hood
named Bonelli. The source of the gold? A eccentric, stubborn old man who bears
more than a close resemblance, in appearance and behavior, to a leprechaun!
When he is robbed of his glistening plot, he goes after (as leprechauns are wont
to do), and with Wonder Woman’s help (of which he’s not entirely grateful)
tracks down Bonelli. The exchange is all set to go down when Thackeray
dishonors his end of the deal and attempts to fly back to Britain with the
gold. WW stops him, of course.
Pretty dull outing with the standard sub-par WW cops and robbers byplay. Character
actor Dick O’Neill is charmingly irascible in his role, although the airing of
this episode would be better suited for St. Patrick’s Day. But the best performance may very well
be the bad guy’s dog, who’s holding the counterfeit plates in his vest and barks
viciously in its defense!
