Season 2

When Strait tries to obtain an interview with a tempestuous Italian film star, he finds she has been kidnapped by a Sicilian bandit with an odd sense of humour.

Strait is assigned to find the hiding place of a fashionable Italian doctor who, having rejected 'civilisation', has gone to work in the African jungle. The man was secretly on a new virus, and Strait must confirm its existence.

Strait plays chauffeur to an eccentric old woman on holiday in order to investigate whether a military leader behind the Iron Curtain is actually dead and now being impersonated by somebody else.

While gathering material for a report on a rebel leader in the Amazon, Strait encounters an order of nuns who wish to establish a mission in the jungle – but someone is out to stop them.

Although he doesn't realise it, a picture taken by Strait reveals the secret of a plot to assassinate a European president. But the group behind the murder plot are aware of the photograph's existence – and order the photographer's death.

In Spain on a 'simple' assignment, Strait finds an air of mystery surrounding his 'model' – a bullfighter. It appears that someone is prepared to go to any lengths to stop the man becoming a success.

In order to avert a rebellion, Strait helps establish the true identity of a young boy kidnapped years earlier and who claims he is the rightful heir to the throne.
