France, my country, seems very attractive for the producers of this series which seem not have been released in. That's the second episode that takes place here since the beginning, and maybe not the last. The story begins when a wealthy man hires our detectives to escort his young daughter in France, because as a beautiful and rich heiress, she may attract many men, potential fortune hunters and other kidnappers. In this tale, you still find the famous french charm, atmosphere with so hard accents in talking, almost funny to hear. It is not so noir after all, rather comedy drama. More comedy than drama although. The final sequence, the horse race track in Longchamp - near Paris - is very exquisite for a French man like me. It surprised me actually !!!

But don't expect to see here the best episode of the whole show. Just for fun and entertaining time wasting.

Our heroes have a genuine French babe working in their own office but they don't even consider taking her to France to help them on a French case? Is this sexism, chauvinism, nationalism or just dummyism? And what's this hang-up the WB has with 17-year-old girls? Last show it was Sherry Jackson, here it's Judy Nugent. We get a brief lecture about how the virtues of young ladies must be preserved, then scenes of her swizzling booze and romancing guys old enough to be her Hollywood producer. Hmm. Anyway, this mademoiselle in distress story is as routine and worn as the stock footage of Paris we see. Zee peepul are Franch becuz zey talk like zes, we? How come they don't talk American? The only thing missing is a mime in a striped shirt and black beret eating a baguette. Zoot suit alors!
