Box of Tricks

Another episode with nightclub singer Venus Smith and they tend to be the weakest ones. This one is more crime orientated.

The episode starts with a magician making his female assistant disappear in his box of tricks only for her to appear dead. The same thing happens again with the replacement assistant. You would think the magician would had given up by now.

Venus appears as a singer at the nightclub and is roped in by Steed to help out the magician. However she hears some kind of voices, maybe this led to the deaths of the two other assistants.

Steed also investigates the leaking of military secrets. It seems the magician is in cahoots with a therapist of a sick wheelchair bound military general. The general's daughter is used to place device in her father's wheelchair thinking the alternative therapy would help him but it is being used for more nefarious purposes.

Not a good or credible episode, the story is thin, so it has been stretched out. You know this as Venus sings two songs.
