synopsis
No sooner has Steed inherited an ornate dagger from an unknown benefactor than he is besieged by mysterious characters who offer him enormous sums of money and other tantalizing inducements to hand the dagger over to them. Things go from mildly amusing to highly dangerous when several of the bidders turn up end. It is up to Tara to find out just why the dagger is so valuable -- and the answer, as they say, lies within. Also known as "Falcon" (as in the "Maltese" variety), "Legacy of Death" was written by Terry Nation; it first aired in the U.S. on November 4, 1968, and in England the following November 20.
