John Drake was a special operative for NATO, specializing in security assignments against any subversive element that threatened world peace. The series featured exotic locales from all over the world, but it was relatively down-to-earth and realistic--especially when compared to its successor, "Secret Agent".
Danger Man: Season 1, Episode 1 View from the Villa (11 Sep. 1960)
The killing of a man who embezzled five millions dollars of gold bullion prompts secret agent John Drake to investigate. He questions various people around Rome in an attempt to find the victim's girlfriend, whom he suspects will be his best lead, but no one seems to know just who or where she is. A clue on a painting finally leads him to a country residence. There, he discovers the stash of gold and the identity of the missing girlfriend. But it soon becomes apparent that others, including the murderer, are in search of the stolen loot and will do anything to get their hands on it.
