Smuggling Angels
adamcshelby18 September 2021
This was a uneven episode from a tonal perspective. There's some light humor and hijinks when the three Angels are given access to a yacht Charlie's buying called 'The Wayward Angel'. Kelly almost crashes the yacht into the dock, and it's all more or less played for laughs. Contrast that with the smuggling subplot involving a Central American general and his violent henchman that commit two murders.

The general is robbed of gold bullion by a slick criminal named Ken Atamien, played by Peter Mark Richmond, who always seemed to play morally dubious or snobby characters.

In a repeat of a theme played out previously, John Bosley once again is done dirty by an age appropriate attractive female. This time it's Beverly Garland playing Pat Justice, the selling agent of the yacht Charlie is buying. As in previous eps, Pat's just playing poor Bosley for the fool, but that's kind of his fault, because he never learns from past experience that no woman is falling for his clumsy charm.

I kind of laughed during one scene where Kris is performing blood analysis on the yacht itself. Since when did she become a forensic specialist? Our gals seem to be having a fine time on the yacht when they bumble their way into finding the stolen gold, and then make almost zero effort to protect it. There's a line uttered by one of the Angels that Tiffany was at the boat watching over it. Haha.

This episode was far from their worst but nowhere near their best.
