Danger Man "The Leak" #1.30 (1961) (TV)

Drake buys a loaf of bread, 22 July 2015

John Drake's Mission: Discover what is behind an outbreak of radiation sickness in a (unnamed) North African country. The locals blame the nuclear plant, but Drake believes the blame lies elsewhere. 

The Leak is a rock solid episode. The plot is intriguing enough with some nice twists along the way. It may not be difficult to see what's behind the illnesses, but it's still fun to watch Drake get there. The Leak features one of the better fight scenes I've seen so far in Danger Man. It may be short, but all involved made it look believable. The cast in this one is quite good, with Marne Maitland, the beautiful Zena Marshall, and Anthony Dawson being highlights. As the other reviewer has already pointed out, it's interesting with Dawson and Marshall working together here just a year or so before they would work together on Dr. No. Overall, a nice episode that I do not hesitate to rate an 8/10.

8/10
