Fay Sorenson (Anne Sharp), wanting a divorce from her husband John (Frank
Windsor), hires Jeff Randall (Mike Pratt) & Marty Hopkirk (Kenneth Cole) to
bring her evidence against him. But since John is a businessman only by the
mercy of his wife - she owns the company he is head of - he can't afford a
divorce & decides to instead have her killed, & it looks like an
accident too, until Marty starts snooping around & finds some clues that it
has been a murder.
Little good does that knowledge do him though, as he soon is run over by the
killer himself ... and dies. Death though cannot keep a good man down, so he
returns from the grave, only visible to his partner, to further investigate in
the case & eventually find his killer.
The first clue leads them to the girl who has allegedly run Marty over,
Happy Lee (Dolorez Mantez), who (rightly) deniew having anything to do with the
"acxcident", but she in turn brings the beatnick Hendy (Ronald Lacey)
to their attention, who was an eye-witness of the accident & now thinks he
has hit the jackpot, blackmailing the actual killer. But this man in turn is
found dead in his appartment, a fake suicide ... & now Jeff & Marty
only know one way to lure the killers into the open - Jeff has to blackmail
Sorenson with all the knowledge he claims to have to make him order one more
hit .- on Jeff - & witht he help of Marty bring down the whole organization
behind the murders. Of course it works out in the end ...
Annette Andre plays Marty's widow Jeannie, Harry Locke is a mild-mannered
hotel-porter.
Randall and Hopkirk (deceased) was a charming & endearing 60's
fantasy/crime show, that does nowadays strike several chords as a piece of
nostalgia, on the other hand though, it doesn't stand the test of time all that
well, actually looking rather dated by modern standards, & more often than
not being a bit too indecisive if it wants to be light-hearted fantasy, crime
drama or all-out comedy without ever integrating elements of these 3 genres
into one antoher wholeheartedly.
