synopsis
Steed and Cathy are sent to Jamaica to investigate the murder of a British courier. Compounding the mystery is the fact that the courier was carrying papers of no major importance. The Avengers end up following the clue trail to Buenos Aires, where they come up against a most unexpected opponent. This episode is a favorite of Avengers buffs, for reasons that will become obvious upon viewing. Written by Leonard Fincham, "Death Dispatch" was first telecast in England on December 22, 1962; it finally made it to American cable TV on February 12, 1991.
