7/10
A bona fide guest STAR!
19 June 2021
The Angels and Bosley are hired as bodyguards and chauffeur for Sammy Davis Jr. (playing both himself and a 'lookalike', Herbert Brubaker III), to foil a kidnap/ransom plot. Brubaker is mistakenly grabbed instead of Davis (of course), and the Angels have to find a way to get him released (rather than killed, once the kidnappers realise who he is - and how much he ISN'T worth).

Davis' preconception that every bodyguard is '7'6" tall, with a face like a catcher's mitt' is amusingly dismantled in his first time meetings with each of the Angels. The plot hangs together okay (if a little far-fetched - but what else is new!). A young Martin Kove is one of the henchmen. And Davis' wife is played by his wife in real-life, Altovise.

Not one of the best episodes, but entertaining enough. 7/10.
