The Persuaders: Season 1

Two unsigned personal invitations bring a titled Englishman, Lord Brett Sinclair, and a self-made American oil tycoon, Danny Wilde, to Monaco for an encounter with a stunning brunette and the Mediterranean crime syndicate.

An attempt to assassinate an art student at the Côte d'Azur airport leads Brett and Danny to a syndicate smuggling gold in the form of counterfeit coins.

Brett and Danny find themselves embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game of deceit and murder as a long-missing heir returns from the grave claiming a coveted, multi-million-pound fortune. But is he a sibling or an impostor?

The noble, yet abandoned manor of Greensleeves is strangely restored unbeknownst to its rightful owner, Lord Brett Sinclair, who now needs to impersonate himself to get to the bottom of the mystery.

The unexplained drowning of a go-go dancer and former 500m swimming champion has Brett and Danny searching for answers in the mansion of a very large international financier.

Danny accidentally finds the body of a dedicated political journalist in the estate of a right-wing British political candidate, but who would believe him when it mysteriously disappears?

Someone has gone to great trouble creating Lord Brett's flawless copy, who masquerades as his indistinguishable impersonator while in his absence. What is worth that endeavour and could Danny tell the difference between them?

Having used a fail-proof betting system, Danny walks out of a Brighton gambling club with a suitcase full of money - but when he is mistaken for a Soviet paymaster, things are bound to get hairy.

A newspaper photograph showing Danny carrying a case with a statuette of a German eagle attracts the attention of an ex-Nazi fanatical Count and the assassins he employs.

Danny's in for a trip down memory lane when he bumps into a long-lost childhood buddy from the Bronx slums, but shortly, as bullets start flying all over the sun-kissed French Riviera, the masks will fall off.

Things turn volatile when unexpectedly, Danny gets himself handcuffed to a much-wanted attaché case, sparking a relentless manhunt from both MI6 and Iron Curtain agents who need to recover the case at all costs.

It's high time the mask falls off and a crooked colossal entrepreneur finally gets what he deserves. This is definitely a job suited to Lord Brett Sinclair, or better still, to Danny impersonating Brett.

Brett and Danny accidentally come across the crash site of an aircraft, and with it, a low-cost, high-grade synthetic fuel formula, which attracts a parade of oil tycoons and "considerate" daughters, all claiming the formula.

Someone inside British Intelligence has turned traitor, but when Brett and Danny's efforts to smoke out the traitor are intercepted, Brett's faint-hearted cousin must come to his rescue.

A concealed microfilm in a dark grey attaché case, dropped inconspicuously in Danny's luggage trolley, triggers a game of masquerade in which unlucky Danny must play along and act as an undisputed American criminal mastermind.

A derelict country cottage is Danny's latest investment, but apart from its great potential, the place comes with a reputation and an unexpected secret.

On the run from the U.S. authorities and the Mob, an American gangster in Rome offers information, expecting in return a reduced sentence; however, smuggling him out of the country will be no easy task for the Persuaders.

A blind double-date for Danny and Brett will eventually implicate the former in an outrageous case of abduction, when the spoiled offspring of a business tycoon will be kidnapped in broad daylight despite the valiant efforts to prevent it.

After last night's farewell party, Lord Brett wakes up in bad shape, married and in the middle of a political conspiracy that targets a Scandinavian diplomat.

The Persuaders and every spy in the business are after a British agent for his highly confidential memoirs; nevertheless, before retrieving the manuscripts, they must first find them.

Sadly, as a methodical assassin has been killing off the noble and honourable members of the Sinclair Clan one by one, Brett who is next in line, must find a way to flush him out, of course with the aid of Danny and a stunning Sinclair.

Two members of the once-proud Russian aristocracy are in desperate need of Lord Brett's and Daniel's assistance to establish their right to a jewellery collection of immense value - and there are exciting discoveries on the way.

The Persuaders vie for the attention of a gorgeous soap heiress who has fallen for the slippery charms of a deceiving con man, but in the end, who can really say that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow isn't an illusion after all?

As it appears, someone is going to great lengths to remind Brett and Danny of the perils of the exciting world of motor racing, while in the meantime, the stinging innuendos of a grudge behind all this, will become a certainty.
