Alsatian on the Case
The spin-off series that
never happened.

A red suitcase containing a hefty sum of money, not to mention a bomb as a security device, is giving people orders — where to take it and when. Believing it is headed for 'Mr. Big', Mother puts Steed and Emma in charge of tracking the case — which leads them straight back to Mother!
