A beauty queen is kidnapped and her overprotective father will do anything to get her back. Strange is asked to investigate outside of Scotland Yard’s knowledge. The young lady was unhappy with her father getting married after her mothers death. A ransom note is asking for money for the return of Jennifer and her father is willing to pay it. Strange finds the evidence all wrong and he questions the legitimacy of this case. With the idea of the ransom floating around their heads it is possible to see a possible change in mind in the kidnappers. Jennifer may actually be in trouble but not if Strange and the team can get to her first.
Personal Synopsis
This episode of the bitter rich girl who wants to do what she wants to do. She would even go as far as faking danger to herself in order to scare and frustrate her father. The episode is a good watch and does emphasise the power money has over people, enough to even change their intentions. David Bauer is wonderful in this show just as he has been in many other ITC shows.
