A surprisingly well plotted episode that once again features a blackmail plot where the victims are filmed having illicit relations. That makes three out of the last four episodes to feature a sex/blackmail plot.
We meet the widow of a potential baseball hall of famer who's the victim of the blackmailers. They took her for 10 grand, leaving her broke. You'd think a great baseball player would have left his wife millions, even in the 1970's. Also, her claim that her late husband would be denied Cooperstown because of what happened to her is beyond dubious. Just.... whatever.
To catch the blackmailers the Angels go undercover, Sabrina as a millionaire heiress with a very strange personality, Jill as a disco dance instructor, and Kelly as a woman who joins the con, providing photography service for the blackmailers. Bosley plays Sabrina's fake millionaire father who makes a $20,000 payout to get his daughter's racy pictures back.
The strange thing is that once the blackmailers accept the cash they could be arrested, but if that were to happen we wouldn't have the climax at the bowling alley where Jill literally bowls one of the suspects over. Yes it's ridiculous but there's always one or two scenes per episode that are.
Of note is actor Dennis Cole, one of the bad guys, who met Jaclyn Smith on set in real life and eventually married her, before divorcing a few years later. John Van Dreelan puts forth a good performance as another baddie, giving off a Roger Moore-like debonair charm. Overall a fun watch.
