They need to be thoroughbreds, in the peak of condition, and with lots of stamina. She chooses her men the way she chooses her horses. To be more specific there is one thing she likes more than horses, and that is men. Katherine admires horseflesh but there are other things that interest her more. Oxford Don had been owned by Katherine Wells, the most glamorous racehorse owner in the country. That means half a million dollars if Banacek can find the horse (his terms are always that he gets ten percent of the insured value of any items he recovers). This is Oxford Don, the best racehorse in America, and he’s insured for a cool five million dollars.

This one was written by Jimmy Sangster, better known for writing scripts for Hammer horror movies.Ī racehorse is stolen, in full view of numerous witnesses. Horse of a Slightly Different Color is pretty good as well. Carlie is pretty good at manipulating men but she discovers that a girl has to get up pretty early in the morning if she wants to out-manipulate Thomas Banacek. She claims that she just wants to learn from the master but this being Carlie we’re not surprised that she has another more devious agenda. This episode also sees Carlie manoeuvre herself into the position of being Banacek’s assistant. The solution turns out to be a quite ingenious and satisfactory impossible crime solution. Stolen right in front of dozens of witnesses. The Vanishing Chalice is a valuable ancient Greek artifact that is stolen from a museum. This is a particularly pleasing episode that includes everything a Banacek fan could ask for. In this episode Carlie has become engaged to the very respectable, and very dull, Henry DeWitt and this gives Banacek the opportunity to have a good deal of fun at his expense.

The coach was being shipped to the Middle East for the ruler’s marriage to movie star Diana Maitland. This is a very good episode.Ī three million dollar horse-drawn wedding coach belonging to a Middle Eastern potentate is stolen from a shipping container in The Three Million Dollar Piracy. The computer, costing several million dollars, was built with money put up by a wealthy hypochondriac. And this is 1972, so this computer is the size of a room. If Max Is So Smart, Why Doesn't He Tell Us Where He Is? concerns the theft of a computer. The wall was then replaced so there was absolutely no way the statue could have been removed from the building. To get the statue into the museum where it was to go on display required an entire wall to be removed. In No Stone Unturned an eleven foot high three ton statue disappears. He’s likeable because the arrogance is done with a twinkle in his eye.

One of the secrets to the success of this series is George Peppard’s ability to make Banacek a character who is both arrogant and genuinely likeable. Once again Banacek gets invaluable help from his friend Felix Mulholland (Murray Matheson), rare book dealer and expert in all manner of esoteric subjects. I’m not sure it was an entirely necessary change but their interplay is quite amusing. And of course there’s an uneasy romantic tension as well. She’s an insurance investigator as well and it was obviously felt that the sometimes friendly, but mostly antagonistic, rivalry between the two would add some interest. In season two Carlie Kirkland (Christine Belford), who had appeared in the pilot episode, was added to the regular cast, at least for the early part of the season. The format was the same as in the first season with each feature-length episode being an impossible crime story (and usually a pretty good one). It is almost unnecessary to add that Banacek’s idea of the good things of life most certainly includes women. Banacek having been one of the successes of the first year of NBC’s Mystery Movie series it was hardly surprising that a second season of eight episodes followed in late 1973 with George Peppard once again playing the handsome debonair insurance investigator who has a taste for the good things in life, and the money to indulge that taste.
