The scales of justice

Four members of the board die one by one and Templar gets reeled into finding the murderer, and the mystery, at first, is hard to unravel, but after a few murders, a daring escape from death, he realises who the killer is.

A brilliant episode, a very enticing idea that keeps you watching. I know Leslie Charteris chose this particular episode to highlight his dissatisfaction of the colour series, but I found this episode very enjoyable with a sinister undercurrent- the ending is quite tense with a good fight sequence.

Trivia
Includes numerous scenes taken directly from Pathe newsreel footage of the 1967 Lord Mayor's show.

Goofs
When Anne Kirby escapes from Elliott Stratton having found the sailor uniform and telescope in his study, she stands on a corner to hail taxi. In the medium closeup there is a high brick wall behind her, on the long shot, the brick wall is only knee height, meaning that the scenes were filmed at different locations.

Quotes
Simon Templar: The City of London was first written about by the Romans 1900 years ago. Nowhere else in the world can you borrow loot so easily - but don't try for just half a dollar. Nobody's interested unless you want at least a couple of million. The Royal Exchange. The Bank of England. Buildings like these were built for men like Sir John Mulliner.
