Intrepid secret agent-turned-private eye Matt Helm finds himself involved with an international black market operation in heavy munitions when he tries to protect a beautiful movie star whose life is endangered. The pilot, with Franciosa taking up where Dean Martin left off after four Helm movies, spawned the brief series (Sept. 1975-Jan. 1976) starring Franciosa, Laraine Stephens, Gene Evans and Jeff Donnell.
