Originally entitled ‘The Cuba Story’, it was filmed at MGM Borehamwood studios between the 7th and 21st October 1964. The episode’s title was changed when the captions were completed on Wednesday 4th November. Glamorous Caribbean actress ‘Conchita’ is murdered by men who break into her home. They leave behind the unconscious body of M9 agent Peter Miller whose cover as a journalist has been blown. Charged with murder, Miller has managed to escape from prison but the heat is on and Drake must get Miller out of the country that evening and has arranged a date with Doris, the code name for an allied submarine. This is the first of three Danger Man episodes to star Jane Merrow, the other two being ‘A Room in the Basement’ and ‘The Man who wouldn’t Talk’. Jane would later appear in the Prisoner episode ‘The Schizoid Man’ and is still a regular at Prisoner conventions.
