Harry O: Lester Two (ABC 25 Sep 1975, with Farrah Fawcett-Majors)

In Lester Two Harry’s neighbour (and girlfriend) Sue Ingham is a stewardess and is just back from a job in Paris. What she doesn’t realise is that someone has hidden stolen diamonds inside a cologne bottle and now they want them back. The only trouble is they have gone missing…

The crooks kidnap Sue and demand that Harry retrieves the diamonds in exchange for her life. Much to Harry’s annoyance Lester Hodges, the wannabe criminologist and gadget whizz, is back on the scene. He very quickly joins Harry on the case, hindering as much as helping.
