The 5-foot pedestal to which it was attached is all that remains to mark the theft. “Man in Harmony,” a 3-ton, 11-foot tall sculpture is missing at its gala unveiling. Story Rating – 7 Season 2 Episode 1 – No Stone Unturned Just before Cap’n Jack’s seafood restaurant franchise is set to go public, millions of dollars in stock certificates are stolen from a non-stop elevator, leaving Banacek to find them before someone walks through walls with a fortune. Story Rating – 6 Episode 8 – The Two Million Clams of Cap’n Jack Puzzle Rating – 6 – The impossible conditions of the theft really reduces the possible solutions. Episode 7 – The Greatest Collection of Them Allīanacek figures out how $23 million worth of paintings vanished from a moving truck transporting them from New York to Boston. I do, however, like the old, cantankerous multi-millionaire, Walter Tyson (brilliantly played by David Wayne). When a priceless book vanishes from a sealed display case in a room that no thief could possibly escape, it’s up to Banacek to show how someone beat the supposedly foolproof alarms to make off with the artefact. Story Rating – 9 Episode 6 – Ten Thousand Dollars a Page Banacek arrives to figure out how the impossible to open vault was so easily breached without a sign left behind. Episode 5 – To Steal a KingĪ king’s ransom in precious coins vanishes from a hotel-suite vault while the owners sleep only a few feet away. It does have Margot Kidder who rather prophetically mentions Superman, 6 years before she stars in it (cue Twilight Zone music). Episode 4 – A Million the Hard Wayīanacek must figure out who stole a million dollars from a supposedly tamper-proof display case. I’m giving a 10 here, because it’s my blog and I’ve got to give kudos to the writers of this one (Howard Browne and Robert Presnell Jr.). So why not a 10? Even though it completely hoodwinked me, I think objectively it’s not as clever as, for example, Project Phoenix (see previous episode).
I loved this episode because it fooled me so much. I was looking for the solution in the completely wrong place. Puzzle Rating – 7 – Good Stuff! Note: Even though I rate this as a 7, it had me completed stumped. Story Rating – 8 Episode 3 – No Sign of the CrossĪ golden cross, on its way from a Mexican church to an American gangster anxious to reform his image, turns into worthless junk without ever leaving the possession of the couriers sent to deliver it. Banacek is called in to find the missing vehicle before a huge insurance claim must be paid. The multi-million dollar Phoenix, prototype for a revolutionary new car, disappears from a non-stop train en route to Boston – flat-car included. It also stars the rather gorgeous Stefanie Powers. Having the convincer that it was a publicity stunt helps.
#Banacek season 2 episode 6 full
When a football player vanishes from the field in full view of network cameras and a live audience, it’s up to Banacek to figure out how his kidnappers spirited him away without a trace.ĭespite the weak puzzle, the story itself is well written. Season 1 Episode 1 – Let’s Hear It for a Living Legend Oh, except for the fight scene, that is really terrible. I was very impressed at how well this has aged, considering it’s now over 40 years old. It has some light humour too which it manages well. This episode is a great introduction to the man and sets up his first meeting with his soon-to-be permanent sidekick, Jay, also perfectly cast as Ralph Manza. He’s a very cool dude! George Peppard is perfectly cast here. SPOILERS! Hover over this for my suggestions for possible improvements SPOILERS! Hover over this for my concerns Synopsis – An insurance investigator tries to find an armoured car carrying gold bullion that disappeared after turning off of a deserted Texas highway, its tyre tracks ending at the edge of a canyon.
