Danger Man - Under the Lake television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back into the Cold War spycraft of Danger Man. John Drake (Patrick McGoohan) follows General Gunther von Klaus (Christopher Rhodes) and his daughter Mitzi (Moira Redmond) across Europe when authorities identify von Klaus as a suspect involved in the millions of counterfeit United States currency showing up all around the world. Meeting the pair on a train, and following them to an isolated retreat, Drake attempts to feign interest in the young woman while learning as much as possible about her father. It’s not until the end of “Under the Lake” that the episode’s title is explained as Drake and Mitzi run for their lives from von Klaus’ partner (Roger Delgado) and his minions. Despite the tragedy of the father, Drake is able to save the daughter and stay alive long enough for help to arrive.
