An Italian dope peddler dies in an accident in London. Interpol agent Anthony Smith (Richard Wyler) impersonates a man, currently in prison, who was to be the deceased Italian's new London contact. Smith goes to New York, where he locates the US members of the drugs ring, led by a man called Peters. Smith assimilates himself into the gang and is taken to Rome to meet the boss of the racket. In Rome a henchman catches Smith on the phone to the police at his hotel. The Interpol man knocks out the thug. Smith is then taken to see the boss, and is somewhat surprised to discover a glamorous young blonde called Signora Alexis. Alexis okays Smith as the ring's new contact man in London. However, the hood knocked out by Smith earlier bursts into the meeting and exposes him as a fake. Things look bad for Smith, but the Italian police arrive in time and put Alexis and her gang under arrest.
Appearance - Good looking Caucasian blonde in her early 20s.
Weapons - None
Comments -
Alexis only appears near the end of the episode as the mysterious "boss."
Man from Interpol also featured another, equally ruthless, female crime boss (who has much more screen time) in the episode "Front Man."
