Charlie's Angels - The Pilot (airdate:
March 21, 1976 - 90
min)
The wealthy Vincent Le Mer has been
missing for seven years, and is
about to be declared legally dead.
His daughter, Janet, has not been in
contact with the family for some
time; so his second wife will
inherit the estate. Kelly shows up
at the house, posing as Janet Le
Mer. Mrs. Le Mer and her associates
accept her story, but try to poison
her. Kelly is exposed as a fraud
when the family receives word that
the "real" Janet (actually Sabrina)
is on her way to town. Kelly claims
to have inside information about the
Le Mer fortune, and promises to keep
quiet about the attempt on her life
in exchange for a share of the
estate. Sabrina shows no interest in
the inheritance, save for a portion
of swampland that she would like to
convert into a bird sanctuary.
Bosley snoops around the swamp and
allows one of Mrs. Le Mer's cohorts
to capture him. He claims that there
is oil on the property. Panicked,
the man tries to dig up Mr. Le Mer's
body and remove it before the
property transfer can take place.
The Angels, with some help from the
police and a friend of Janet's,
catch him in the act and apprehend
him. The Angels learn that their
client was Janet Le Mer, who had
hoped to expose the truth about her
father's murder.

Hellride (airdate: Sept. 22,
1976)
A stock car mechanic suspects murder
when his beautiful driver, Suzy
Lemson, is forced to the outside of
the track, loses control of her and
loses her life. Charlie bets on the
Angels to track down Suzy’s enemies,
‘Bloody’ Mary, Suzy’s chief track
competitor, so-called for her
questionable racing tactics, and
Kale, her overly amorous
grease-monkey boyfriend, have
obviously caused the fatal crash.
But Mary and Kale are merely pawns
of a track promoter and his brainy
partner plotting a half million
dollar heist. Stock cars take to the
streets with Sabrina at the wheel in
a race against time and ‘Bloody’
Mary to prevent a major robbery.

The Mexican Connection
(airdate: Sept. 29, 1976)
The Angels are commissioned by Dan
Mason, a small craft pilot to crack
a heroin smuggling ring. It seems
the ring is slipping the contraband
onto his craft while he’s making
runs over the Mexican-American
border. Sabrina operates undercover
as a stewardess, working with Dan’s
colleague Jim Taylor. Jill and Kelly
go undercover at the estate of drug
Kingpin Bartone who is Dan’s boss.
It is discovered that Bartone is in
competition with a shadowy operator
named Escobar and is desperate to
maintain his connection in Los
Angeles. Jill lures Bartone into the
United States where he is
apprehended by narcotics agents and
Jim Taylor is also arrested when the

Night of the Strangler
(airdate: Oct. 13, 1976)
The Angels investigate the
strangulation death of Dana Cameron,
a model who was having an affair
with her employer, Kevin St. Clair.
Kelly and Jill get modeling work at
St. Clair's agency, due in large
part to Kelly's strong resemblance
to Dana. Sabrina cons her way into a
job as a photo stylist. St. Clair is
considered the prime suspect, until
his estranged wife is strangled
while he is with Kelly. Suspicion
then falls on Jesse Woodman, a
public relations official with a
previous conviction for aggravated
assault; but another (non-fatal)
attack occurs while Woodman is
dining with Jill. Sabrina arranges a
date with photographer/porn director
Alec Witt, and finds a photograph of
the three victims with exes drawn
over their faces. Kelly arrives to
help her fend off an attack from the
overzealous Witt. Jill has dinner
with Heinz Brandon, a strange and
lonely costumer. He leaves after
stepping away to take a phone call;
and is found dead in a church
confessional after an apparent
suicide, leaving behind a note in
which he confesses to the murders.
Jill suspects foul play, noting that
Heinz--a devout Catholic--would
never have killed himself. Sabrina
discovers that St. Clair had taken
out a large life insurance policy in
his wife's name. He collaborated
with Woodman and Witt to strangle
the three women to make it appear
that his wife's death was the work
of a serial killer. They each
attacked one of the victims, thereby
making it seem as though they all
had alibis. Bosley finds the entire
case very confusing.

Bullseye (airdate: Dec. 1,
1976)
The U.S Army has a murder on its
hands when a W.A.C. recruit is shot
to death on the rifle range and the
base commander enlists the Angels.
With Jill and Kelly up to their
helmets in basic training, suspicion
quickly falls on a male Sergeant
Billings in medical supply. Rumors
connect him with the victim in what
seems to be a failed romance, but
Kelly finds bank deposit slips in
his desk suggesting a scam of some
sort. Sabrina suits up for “nursing
duty” at the base hospital with a
charming army doctor eager to show
her around. His interest in
Sabrina’s orientation extends to a
civilian bar where the sergeant in
question is drinking heavily and
displaying an ugly, condescending
rapport with the “good doctor”. What
Billings and the doctor sense Angels
on their trail, it is obviously time
for these conspirators to go
A.W.O.L. But the sergeant is taking
no chances and Jill becomes hostage
at the point of a service revolver.

in the hopes that Jericho can be
caught making an attempt on his
life. Sabrina poses as Kamden's

2, 1977)
A woman hires the Angels after two
men try to set fire to the film
vault at her son's business, Goldman
Laboratories. Assistant D.A. Paul
Baylor--known for his exemplary
conviction rate--overhears Jill
asking questions about the case and
approaches her, claiming to have
information. Bosley and Sabrina
question two of Goldman's investors,
and are confused when the pair
angrily denies knowing the man. The
Angels discover that Goldman is a
pornographer. Goldman admits that he
blackmailed his investors into
backing him, using film he had taken
of their tryst at a local motel. A
man tries to shoot Jill in the
garage at Sabrina's apartment
building. While looking over more
footage, the Angels notice a man
hurriedly coming out of a building
in the background of one scene. Jill
suspects that it is the same guy who
attacked her, and goes to the
location where the film was shot to
investigate. She discovers that the
building includes an apartment that
was the home of a murder suspect
that Baylor is prosecuting. She
calls a number given to her by
Baylor and talks with an officer
named Sgt. Danner. He and his
partner come to speak with Jill, who
recalls that the murder suspect
claimed that someone planted
evidence. She suddenly realizes that
the two officers were responsible,
and notices Baylor watching from a
distance. He had pretended to work
with her on the Goldman case so that
he could monitor her progress and do
away with her if she got too close.
Jill appears to be in serious
trouble, but Kelly and Sabrina
arrive and help her bring the
situation under control.

The Vegas Connection
(airdate: Feb. 9, 1977)
A man hires the Angels after his
wife is caught stealing money from
his safe. Sabrina trails Mrs. Mallin
to the Poker Palace, and discovers
that she has been purposely losing
on a regular basis. She loses a
bundle of money, but the other
players each make deposits of only
$1000. Mrs. Mallin and the other
players each have a connection to
the Versailles Hotel, a Las Vegas
casino. She finally admits that she
sought work as a chorus line dancer
at the facility years ago, but a job
never opened up. She became so
desperate that she let Cass Harper
talk her into spending the night
with one of the high rollers for
money. Someone took pictures of the
encounter and has been blackmailing
her for years. Kelly auditions for a
spot as a dancer, and learns that
Harper routinely uses young women as
part of a plot to blackmail wealthy
patrons. (Mrs. Mallin was targeted
because she happened to end up
marrying a rich man.) Jill must fend
off an attack from one of Harper's
accomplices, who recognizes her from
the Poker Palace. The Angels seek
the help of Elsbeth, an aspiring
dancer who is trying to turn her
life around. Bosley takes a liking
to her. He poses as a Texas
millionaire and sets himself up as a
mark so that Sabrina can find out
who else is in on the scam. Sabrina
assumes the role of a tax
investigator and convinces the
casino owner that Harper is stealing
from him. He tries to flee, but is
caught by two of the owner's
henchmen and forced to "go for a
walk" in the desert. While he is
being beaten, the Angels seize the
blackmail evidence. They destroy it
and tell the victims that they are
in the clear.

Terror on Ward One (airdate:
Feb. 16, 1977)
The Angels investigate the misdoings
at a hospital, where someone in
doctor's scrubs has attempted
several rapes on the nursing staff.
Kelly and Jill go undercover as
nurses, while Sabrina poses as a
reporter. Jill accepts a date with
one of the suspects, a nervous
intern known for repeatedly making
advances toward nurses, and
discovers that he is basically
harmless. Sabrina learns that chief
surgeon Ted Danworth has been taking
a form of methamphetamines to cope
with his grueling schedule. Several
pills are found at the scene of one
of the attacks, and Kelly finds a
number of empty bottles in
Danworth's office. Bosley checks
into the hospital under the pretense
of having a bone spur in his toe
treated. His cantankerous roommate
sneaks back into the room in the
middle of the night, not long after
one of the rape attempts. After
learning that Bosley is a detective,
Halvorsen slips him his sleeping
pill and switches their charts. He
punches out an orderly and makes a
break for it. Charlie later
discovers that Halvorsen actually
feared that Bosley was investigating
him for overdue alimony payments.
Bosley accidentally undergoes an
unnecessary appendectomy. Sabrina
discovers that Danworth was accused
of malpractice after a man died
during surgery several years
earlier; the orderly, Ted Blain, is
the deceased's son. She does not
realize that Blain has overheard her
talking with Bosley. Kelly returns
to Danworth's office to find that he
has overdosed, leaving a confession
in an apparent suicide note.
However, someone has actually forced
him to take the pills at gunpoint.
Kelly overpowers the attacker and
discovers that it is one of the
nurses. Blain tells Sabrina that he
and the nurse--his mother--plotted
to avenge his father's death by
discrediting and murdering Danworth.
He tries to attack Sabrina with a
lead pipe, but Jill and Kelly disarm
him. Danworth recovers from the
overdose.

Dancing in the Dark (airdate:
Feb. 23, 1977)
After a woman rejects the advances
of her dance instructor beau, he
suddenly attacks her. Someone bursts
in and photographs her in a
compromising position, and also
snaps photos of some drugs that have
been planted in her purse. Her late
husband is up for induction into the
Baseball Hall of Fame, so she pays
$10,000 to keep the pictures out of
circulation. Now on the verge of
bankruptcy, she asks the Angels to
help her retrieve the money. Jill
gets a job as a dance instructor at
Alexander Cruz's studio, while
Sabrina poses as a nerdy heiress and
puts herself in line as instructor
Tony Bordinay's next target. Bosley
pays Schaffer Goodhew, the private
detective working with Cruz, to
leave town. Kelly passes herself off
as Goodhew's assistant and wins
Cruz's trust. Sabrina pretends to
get drunk and pass out during a date
with Bordinay, and Kelly snaps
incriminating photographs. Bosley,
claiming to be Sabrina's father,
pays $20,000 for the photos. Sabrina
tells Cruz that Bosley is a scam
artist who intends to sell the
pictures to her father for a huge
profit. Cruz confronts Bosley and
forces him to sell back the
photographs for $40,000. Goodhew
returns to town and exposes Kelly as
an impostor. She does her best to
convince Cruz that she is just an
opportunist with no ulterior
motives, but they have Goodhew hold
her at an abandoned bowling alley
that is one of Cruz's properties.
Cruz and Bordinay pay a visit to
Sabrina's "real" father (actually
Charlie), who emphatically states
that the woman in the pictures is
not his daughter. They return to the
alley before Kelly can escape, but
she and Jill use their bowling
skills to incapacitate Bordinay and
Goodhew. Sabrina catches Cruz trying
to make a getaway.

Esteemed veteran actress Gloria
Gibson seeks the help of her old
friend Charlie after she experiences
a string of frightening mishaps,
including seeing a man hanging from
a tree in her front yard. Because
all of the events are recreations of
scenes from her films, there is some

someone is trying to drive her
crazy--or perhaps even kill her.
Sabrina stays in Gloria's house as
her secretary, while Kelly lands a
job as an extra in her next film.
Jill hangs around the set as a
reporter. Gloria nearly dies when
she is trapped inside her trailer
after it is set on fire. Kelly finds
it suspicious that one of the stage
hands, Galbraith, just happens to
have a crowbar handy to pry open the
trailer door. Galbraith and his
friend Barkley become nervous as
Jill investigates the "accident."
Barkley climbs onto a catwalk and
tries to drop a light onto Jill; but
Sabrina warns her, and Barkley falls
to his death. Sabrina and Jill see
Galbraith and Barkley with Gloria
and her husband in an old
photograph. She reveals that they
once helped her husband obtain a
reproduction of a famous painting,
which now adorns a wall in her den.
Kelly is bewildered to see Gloria's
agent, Frank Ross, meeting secretly
with Galbraith on the set. She is
caught calling her friends, and
Frank chases her onto the catwalk
with a gun. Sabrina and Jill arrive
to help her. They reveal that the
painting was actually an original,
worth millions; Galbraith and
Barkley decided to re-acquire it
after the death of Gloria's husband.
Frank hoped to keep Gloria from
working so that she would become
destitute and sell the house,
putting the painting into the trio's
hands.

2nd SEASON (1977 - 1978)
Angels in Paradise (part 1)
(airdate: Sep. 14, 1977)
Sabrina and Kelly are upset over
Charlie's decision to hire a
replacement for Jill, who has taken
a leave of absence to pursue a
career as a race-car driver. Their
fears quickly fade after they
discover that their new partner is
Jill's younger sister Kris, who
attended the police academy in San
Francisco. They must fly to Hawaii
after Charlie calls and reveals that
he has been kidnapped from his boat.
The Angels meet Charlie's captor, a
cunning young smuggler named Leilani
Sako. She threatens to kill Charlie
unless the Angels help her husband
Billy escape from prison. Sabrina
determines that they will break
Billy out, and then return him after
Charlie is safe. Billy's lawyer
arranges for a court hearing, and
the Angels and Bosley set up an
elaborate scheme to stage an
accident and spring him from a
police car. The Angels grow
concerned over the interference from
one of Leilani's rivals; who
attempts a hit on Leilani, shoots
Billy's sister, and threatens Kelly.
Leilani loses Charlie to the
competitor, Alfred Blue, but still
hopes to force the Angels to return
her husband. Sabrina emphatically
states that she will not see Billy
again unless she helps them find
Charlie. Blue tries to cut his own
deal for Billy. A man's body washes
up on the beach--with Charlie's
identification in his back pocket.

Angels in Paradise (part 2)
(airdate: Sep. 14, 1977)
The Angels cannot identify the body,
but one of Leilani's men says that
it is not Charlie. Billy describes
to Bosley the way he fell in love
with Leilani, and laments her
reluctance to give up their shady
lifestyle. Billy suggests that they
simply trade him for Charlie, but
the Angels refuse to even consider
sacrificing him. Kelly and Kris
search for Sammy Telford, an
eccentric man who might have
information about Blue. One of
Leilani's men tries to kidnap them
to set up an exchange for Billy, but
Blue's men drive the attackers away.
Leilani assures Kris and Kelly that
she had nothing to do with the
kidnap attempt, and promises that
there will be no further
interference. Kris finds Sammy at a
nude beach, where he is preaching
about the dangers of too much sun.
She must discard her clothes to get
onto the beach and talk to him,
prompting much teasing from Kelly
and Sabrina. Sammy tells Kris that
Blue is most likely holding Charlie
on his yacht. The Angels cannot call
the police because they would get
into hot water for springing Billy.
Sabrina contacts Blue and pretends
that she wants to turn over Billy in
exchange for cash and future
employment opportunities. She goes
to his yacht to discuss business,
with Kelly, Kris and Billy hiding
under a cover in her speedboat. The
trio sneaks on board the boat, where
Kris barricades herself in the
engine room and Kelly takes over the
bridge. Sabrina tries to free
Charlie, but he breaks loose of his
shackles and jumps out a window
while she is fighting with Blue and
his men. Kelly steers the boat
toward shore; and the Coast Guard
comes aboard and accuses Blue of
harboring a fugitive. Billy comes
out of hiding and surrenders,
claiming that Blue broke him out of
prison. The Angels follow Charlie's
lead by jumping overboard and
swimming to shore.

Angels on Ice (part 1)
(airdate: Sep. 21, 1977)
A temperamental ice show owner hires
the Angels to investigate after
someone breaks into his office.
Billy, a slow-witted locker room
attendant, accepts a bribe to leave
a door unlocked so that some masked
men can kidnap the male skating
star. They also take his partner,
much to Billy's dismay. Kelly and
Kris audition for the show. They are
able to sweet-talk the artistic
director into accepting them,
although Kris is reassigned to clown
duty after she repeatedly falls
down. Two fabulous skaters suddenly
show up out of nowhere to take over
for the missing leads. Kelly finds
their appearance rather suspicious,
but is unaware that they are
actually highly skilled assassins.
Their employer also nabs a security
guard and sends in one of his goons
as a substitute. While checking out
the missing female skater's
apartment, Sabrina has a run-in with
one of the kidnappers. She tries to
chase him, but gets arrested for
commandeering a truck and
accidentally slamming into a police
car. Sabrina talks with a wino who
has been hanging around outside the
arena all week. She learns that a
limousine with diplomatic license
plates has been involved in several
mysterious happening. The skaters
practice a routine in which they
will fire muskets that contain
American flags. The masked men knock
out the ice show's machinist, and
the new skaters' "cousin" offers to
fill in for him. He tampers with the
muskets, putting real artillery into
two of them.

Angels on Ice (part 2)
(airdate: Sep. 21, 1977)
Kelly grows even warier of Olga and
Luisi after they commit a rare error
during rehearsal; they point their
muskets in the wrong direction. Kris
develops a friendship with Billy.
After cooking her dinner, he
tearfully explains his role in
Helene's kidnapping. Sabrina learns
that the only files in Max's office
affected during the break-in were
the arena lay-out and seating chart.
While talking with Mason about the
infamous limousine, Kelly sees the
vehicle arrive. She pays a
motorcyclist to follow it, and ends
up at an Arabian restaurant. She
poses as a belly dancer and gains
access to the room where Dirgus and
his associates are meeting.
Unfortunately, her veil falls off
during her routine, allowing Dirgus
and his henchman to recognize her.
She is taken to the warehouse where
the skaters, security guard and Iggy
are being held prisoner. They are
able to create a catapult; and
launch Kelly to the top of the room,
where she climbs out the window. She
makes it to the arena and sends help
to the warehouse. Sabrina and Bosley
work as vendors and keep an eye on a
group of sheiks in town for an OPEC
meeting, as they seem to have some
role in all the commotion. Kris
realizes that Olga and Luisi are
going to shoot the sheiks, and
tackles them as they try to fire
their weapons. She and Kelly knock
them out; while Billy helps Bosley
and Sabrina take down Dirgus and his
henchman. The conspirators were
dissidents from various Arab
nations, who hoped to assassinate
their compatriots and seize control
of much of the world's oil.

(airdate: Sep. 28, 1977)
Ben Pawl, the host of the Miss
Chrysanthemum pageant, flies out
from Iowa to seek the Angels' help
after someone begins scaring away
the contestants. Kelly and Kris
enter the pageant, while Sabrina and
Bosley pose as a news crew filming a
story about the event. Someone fires
shots into Kris's room, and a
sandbag is dropped on the main stage
in the middle of rehearsal. Two
rather stupid men try to bribe one
of the judges (an older woman) into
voting for Billie Jolene, the
daughter of a wealthy Texas
businessman. When she refuses and
begins hitting them, they kidnap
her. Sabrina stakes out the airport
as the replacement judge arrives.
She overhears the men bribe and
blackmail the woman until she agrees
to vote for Billie. Sabrina hides in
the guys' trunk in the hopes of
finding the kidnapped judge, but
gets caught in the act. After the
wealthy Millie refuses to pay the
men to release her, Sabrina suggests
that they might be able to get
Bosley to cough up the money. They
approach Bosley with guns drawn, but
Kelly and Kris jump offstage in the
middle of the show and beat them up.
The goons reveal Sabrina and
Millie's location, and confess their
role in the bribery scam. Billie is
disqualified, but a disappointed
Kelly and Kris lose the pageant to a
girl who recited a soliloquy from
The Merchant of Venice while
twirling a baton. Bosley explains
that the host told the judges not to
vote for them because they were not
legitimate contestants. Charlie
spends all of his time watching a
woman in a bikini play with a

Angel Flight (airdate: Oct.
5, 1977)
Sabrina's college roommate Angela, a
stewardess, receives threatening
phone calls from someone who keeps
leaving her black roses. Sabrina
goes to stay with her, while Kelly
and Kris go into training to become
stewardesses. One of the other
stewardesses is attacked in a
parking garage and killed with a
karate chop to the throat. Mai Ling,
a trainee with a chip on her
shoulder, becomes a suspect because
she holds a black belt in karate.
The killer calls Angela and orders
her to follow his instructions or
risk losing more of her friends. She
agrees, and refuses to tell Sabrina
what is going on. Angela obeys a
recording in which the killer orders
her to drug the co-pilot; hijack the
plane during a test flight for the
student stewardesses; and kill the
pilot upon arriving in Peru.
However, the pilot is actually her
stalker; he arranged the hijacking
scenario to make himself appear
innocent of any wrongdoing. Angela
accidentally shoots the pilot in a
struggle, and then hits her head and
gets knocked out. The
co-conspirator, who has assaulted
the flight engineer, pulls out a gun
and orders the stewardesses to get
the cockpit door open. Kelly and
Kris refuse to act until he
explains. He says that he and the
pilot plan to sell the airline's new
automated pilot technology, which
can fly the plane until it lowers to
an elevation of fifty feet. The
co-pilot wakes up long enough to put
the plane on automatic pilot. Kris
and a tall woman disarm the gunman,
and Mai Ling kicks in the door.
Kelly must follow the tower's
instructions to bring the plane to a
safe landing.

The Barzak family circus is plagued
by a number of mysterious accidents.
The owner's son, David, seeks the
Angels' help to determine the cause.
They must keep their identities a
secret from his father, a gypsy who
believes in handling his problems on
his own--and also has a problem with
women in the workplace. Sabrina
seeks work as a clown's apprentice,
while Kris becomes the knife
thrower's assistant. Kelly convinces
Barzak to hire her as a motorcycle
daredevil, but two men sabotage her
equipment. Sabrina and David quickly
take a liking to one another.
Someone leaves a snake in her bed in
the hopes of scaring her away, and
Kelly and Kris narrowly escape when
their tent is set on fire. Intrigued
by his strange behavior, Kris swipes
a glass with the fingerprints of
knife thrower Helmut. A computer
check reveals that he is an East
German circus star who recently
defected. Anton Tarloff, the clown,
is actually behind all of the
misdoings. He blames Barzak for his
niece's death in a circus accident
years earlier, and has become
obsessed with driving him out of
business. Tarloff and his cohorts
suspect that the Angels are cops and
decide that they must do away with
them. One man knocks out Helmut and
takes his place in the
knife-throwing act, but Kris gets
away. He reveals (under duress) that
Tarloff plans to kill Sabrina by
using a real sword in their comedic
duel. He cannot bring himself to do
this because Sabrina reminds him of
his late niece. Kris tackles a
sniper, thwarting his attempt to
shoot Kelly during her motorcycle

Frank, is strangled in his cabin.
Kelly and Kris join the staff, while
Sabrina goes undercover as a
magazine reporter. Bosley checks
into the facility and struggles to
stick to his diet. Sabrina begins to
fall for one of the guests, Doug
O'Neal. Lon Molton, Hildy's
right-hand man, dons a stocking mask
and attacks Kris and Kelly in their
cabin. Someone later leaves a fake
bomb in the cabin in the hopes of
driving them away. Kelly discovers
that Doug and Frank were in the same
Air Force unit in Vietnam. Sabrina
refuses to believe that Doug is
responsible for the crime. She tells
him that she is writing a story
about the murder, and Doug freely
admits that Frank was one of his
best friends. He claims that he came
to the facility to try and find some
answers. Kelly and Kris search
Doug's room and discover that he is
carrying newspaper clippings about
B.J. Smith, a man who disappeared
after committing a
two-million-dollar skyjacking. An
indignant Sabrina suggests that they
confront Doug with the allegations.
Doug ransacks Kelly and Kris's cabin
and finds the money hidden inside
the wall. Lon hits him over the head
and takes the money, but Kelly and
Kris catch up to him on horseback
and tie him up. Doug confesses his
role in the skyjacking to Sabrina;
he landed in a tree after jumping
from the plane, and suffered severe
injuries. Frank assumed that he was
dead and took the money, and Doug
finally tracked him down at the
cabin. He accidentally shot Frank
during a scuffle, and Lon finished
him off after Doug fled. Doug tries
to convince Sabrina to run away with
him, but she holds him at bay until

find her missing aunt, an eccentric
old woman who believed in the
existence of UFOs. Kris and Bosley
pose as a couple and join the
Celestial Research Foundation, an
organization run by Dr. Franklin
Perine that is devoted to the study
of alien life. The group often
arranges UFO sightings for its
members. Kelly romances James
Britten, a disgraced astronaut who
works as a front for the foundation,
in order to elicit inside
information. Sabrina intentionally
allows Dr. Perine and company to
catch her tailing their car. She
pretends to be a bungling detective
investigating the possible
infidelity of one of their members,
and is allowed to come to the
group's desert headquarters and
snoop around. Kris establishes a
rapport with nerdy Teddy Nolan
during a meeting, but he clams up
when she mentions Mrs. Sheridan.
Kelly comes to his office, claiming
to be a visitor from outer space,
and demands answers. He says that
Mrs. Sheridan was dragged away by
two men while shouting something
about the temperature on Venus. The
Angels conclude that Mrs. Sheridan
was murdered because she had
realized that Dr. Perine's theories
conflicted with scientific fact and
was about to expose him as a fraud.
Britten confesses his involvement
with the institute to Kelly, who
tries to convince him to get out.
Dr. Perine discovers that Kelly is a
detective and orders Britten to kill
her. Kris distracts Dr. Perine while
Bosley uses Mrs. Sheridan's dog to
help locate her body, which is still
buried at the headquarters. Sabrina
gets caught snapping photographs of
the phony flying saucers, but Kris
comes to her aid until Bosley and

Kelly's seatbelt before taking her
up in his airplane. She notices this
and creates her own makeshift belt,
and then forces Britten to land the
plane at gunpoint.

The Angels and Bosley go undercover
as station employees and investigate
a number of possible suspects.
Sabrina becomes the new
traffic/weather reporter and works
with Buck Willis, a macho chopper
pilot who became very angry after
Joy ended their romance. He realizes
that she considers him a suspect,
and proves his innocence by turning
over shells from his guns (which do

similar voices. She goes after a man
who threatened Joy for exposing him
as a wife beater, but finds that he
died a few days earlier. Kris tries

who lost major research grants after
Joy exposed his cure for the common
cold as a fraud. Joy's attacker
forces Kelly off the road and tries
to run over her, but Buck and

not set a series of mysterious fires
at Fashion City warehouses across
the country. Sabrina poses as a
wacky French lady and convinces
Joseph Watson, owner of Fashion
City, to hire her as a designer.
Bosley and Kris go undercover as a
hilarious "mind-reading" act.
Someone causes fire to come out of
the shower backstage, nearly burning
Kris. Kelly claims to be the
daughter of a famous illusionist in
order to get close to a magician
named the Great Danzini and
determine whether he is a suspect.
Sabrina gets caught in a blaze at
the Fashion City warehouse.
Intrigued by the fact that the
telephone had rung just before
several of the fires, she
investigates. She discovers that
someone is rigging the phones with
phosphorus, thereby starting the
fires just by making a call. Sabrina
fixes a sabotaged phone and observes
it as part of a plan to catch the
culprit. Kris sees Mary Ann Webb,
Danzini's assistant, making the call
from backstage during the
"disappearing lady" trick. Mary Ann
explains that her husband accepted
money from companies to set "magic"
fires as part of an insurance fraud
scam. Watson double-crossed him and
left him trapped in one of the
fires, so Mary Ann began destroying
his businesses as revenge. Watson
finds Sabrina in his office and
assumes that she is the one
responsible for the fires. He ties
her up and rigs the phone, leaving
her for dead. Kelly and Kris arrive
to pull Sabrina out of the blaze,
and the police catch up to Watson.
Kelly and Sabrina won't leave Kris
alone after Charlie reveals that he
was in the audience for her act.

The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper
(airdate: Dec. 7, 1977)
Sammy Davis Jr.'s manager hires the
Angels for bodyguard duty after
Sammy narrowly eludes multiple
kidnap attempts. Sabrina and Kris
have a run-in with the kidnappers
during a charity event. Herbert
Brubaker III, owner of the H&B
Boozeterias, wins the celebrity
look-alike contest because of his
resemblance to Sammy. Herbert comes
over to Sammy's house to take him up
on his promise to let him drive one
of his prized automobiles. The
kidnappers mistake Herbert for Sammy
and nab him. The Angels convince
Sammy to lay low so that the
kidnappers will believe they
succeeded. They demand a $375,000
ransom for Sammy's return. Sabrina
finds the dollar amount to be rather
suspicious. Kris poses as a floozy
and gains access to the office of
Andy Price, Sammy's business
manager. She discovers that he has
embezzled a great deal of money to
cover his debts, and agreed to help
orchestrate the kidnapping to cover
his tracks. After Bosley leaves with
the ransom money, Sammy and his wife
emerge and explain the case of
mistaken identity. Kelly and Kris
claim that an electronic tracking
device was planted in the money,
prompting Andy to take off to warn
the kidnappers. The Angels trail him
to their hideout, and Sammy insists
on coming along because he feels
responsible for Herbert's
predicament. The kidnappers plan to
kill Herbert, and decide they must
do away with Andy after he objects.
After Sammy distracts them, the
Angels break in and subdue everyone.
Sammy feels sorry for Andy and
decides not to press charges against
him. He invites the Angels to an
opening, but they are horrified to
discover that it is for Herbert's
newest boozeteria.

Angels on Horseback (airdate:
Dec. 21, 1977)
The Angels and Bosley head to the
Sunwest Dude Ranch to investigate
the death of Joseph Frisch, who was
found murdered on the facility's
bus. They pretend to be strangers,
but camp foreman Ed Cole becomes
suspicious when he sees them talking
with the sheriff before boarding the
bus. He places a burr under a
horse's saddle, causing it to buck
Sabrina. George Jackson, a sleazy
private investigator who once worked
for Charlie, calls two men and
reports the location of one of the
camp's guests. Bosley learns that
Cole and ranch guest Jean Trevor
were once employees of Frisch's
company. Jean denies having ever met
Frisch. Kelly overhears a scuffle in
Cole's room, and someone shoves her
out of the way as she enters. She
finds that Cole has been murdered.
Bosley is perplexed to see Jean
embracing a man named Ed Miller, as
she had reportedly been involved
with Frisch. After much prompting,
she finally admits that Frisch
switched identities with Ed Miller
because some of his mob associates
are out to get him. He told Jean
that he killed Miller in
self-defense, but the man was
actually just an innocent bystander.
Frisch also murdered Cole because he
had recognized Frisch and was trying
to blackmail him. The mobsters show
up in Frisch's room while Sabrina is
talking with him, and take them both
prisoners. They try to escape on
horseback after the sheriff calls
for a roadblock, but Kris and Kelly
catch up to them. Kris wounds one of
the men in a shootout; she isn't
thrilled, but is able to handle it.

A tennis player narrowly escapes
severe burns when someone traps her
in the showers. The incident drives
away many of the entrants in that
week's tournament. Kris, a former
collegiate player, joins the field;
while Sabrina and Kelly pose as a
designer and model of tennis
clothing. Mexican champion Carmita
Medina is found murdered while
meditating. A sniper fires several
shots at Carrie Jo Evans, an aging
star attempting a comeback. Sabrina
and Kelly chase after the sniper,
but cannot even tell if it is a man
or woman. The investigation focuses
on Ronnie Kyle, a player turned
broadcaster who has become very
bitter since losing a grudge match
to Carrie Jo. Kris tries to bait him
by challenging him to a match, and
he storms out during the first game.
However, Bosley discovers that Kyle
is an old drunk who couldn't
possibly have been fit enough to run
away from Sabrina and Kelly. A
rattlesnake attacks Helga, the
Swedish champion. The culprit, Eddie
Fisk, overhears the Angels telling
her that they are detectives. Carrie
Jo eavesdrops and learns that her
sponsor, Arlo Spinner, has had Fisk
arrange the "accidents" to drive
away her competition. He believes
that she will win the tournament and
everyone will buy his rackets to
emulate her. Carrie Jo approaches
Sabrina and Kelly during her match
and explains the situation. They
head out to help Kris, who staves
off an attack from Fisk in the
locker room. Arlo manages to trick
the Angels and hold them all at

he won't personally kill anyone and

Hours of Desperation
(airdate: Jan. 11, 1978)
Three men pull off a diamond heist,
but one of them jumps out of the car
and runs off with the loot. Ring
leader Denny Dinsmore shoots him,
and he manages to get himself to a
hospital before collapsing. Dinsmore
and his partner, Williams, show up
at the office and hold Bosley and
the Angels at gunpoint. Dinsmore
forces Sabrina to wear a locking
belt covered with charges; unless
Kris and Kelly can find Murdock and
retrieve the diamonds in ten hours,
he will activate the device and kill
Sabrina and Bosley. Murdock, who is
very weak after having the bullet
removed, leaves the hospital to meet
a fence and sell the diamonds. Kelly
and Kris force the security guards
who aided with the theft to lead
them to the motel where the exchange
is to take place. They discover that
Murdock has died and the diamonds
are gone. Kelly and Charlie each
call the office and make it seem as
though Kris has vanished and plans
to leave the country. Kelly tips off
Sabrina and Bosley by saying that
Kris abandoned her station wagon
(she actually drives her sister's
old Cobra), and Sabrina recognizes
the name of the "company plane" Kris
will be using as a street. Sabrina
and Bosley convince the crooks that
Kris has sold them out and accepted
a partnership with Murdock. Sabrina
points out that they can still stop
her at the airport, and claims to
have a shortcut. Kris and Kelly set
up a roadblock. Sabrina conks the
distracted Dinsmore over the head,
giving herself enough time to jump
into a nearby pond and deactivate
the charges. Dinsmore and Williams
are apprehended, and Interpol
catches the fence at a French
airport.

Diamond in the Rough
(airdate: Jan. 18, 1978)
Two men take legendary jewel thief
Freddie "The Fox" Brander prisoner
and demand that he reveal the
whereabouts of a priceless diamond.
He escapes, and seeks the Angels'
help to retrieve the stolen gem from
a wealthy Arab and return it to a
museum. He admits that he is looking
for an exciting ending for his
autobiography. They travel to a
Caribbean island; where Freddie and
Sabrina pose as a snooty lord and
lady, with Kelly as their secretary.
The men who had nabbed Freddie
follow them and observe their every
action. In order to get Kelly into
Faris Salim's house, Bosley spreads
a rumor about his secretary so that
she will be let go. Freddie then
fires Kelly in front of Salim at a
restaurant; he quickly hires her.
Kris "selflessly" makes a play for
Salim's hunky son Ali, a car fanatic
who disapproves of his father's
ways. Salim invites Freddie and
Sabrina to his birthday party, where
they feign boredom so that he will
show off the diamond. They furtively
take photographs and notes about the
various security measures; including
guard dogs; security monitors; an
alarm that is triggered if anyone
makes contact with the floor; and a
snake inside the glass case. Ali
observes Kris's actions and realizes
that she is planning to steal the
diamond. She reveals her true
motives, and asks him not to give
them away. The Angels drug the dogs
and Kelly distracts the man on duty
by dancing with him. Freddie takes
ill and cannot go through with his
part of the heist. Freddie's rivals
approach him at gunpoint. Sabrina
uses a blowtorch to cut through the
bars surrounding the window, and
Kris goes into the room on a rope
and hangs above the diamond. She
sticks a piece of metal into the
case to distract the snake while she
snares the diamond. Salim's
right-hand man sees them running
across the lawn, but Kelly steals
his sub-automatic machine gun so
that she can make her getaway. Ali
comes to Freddie's rescue and kisses
Kris goodbye before the Angels flee.

Angels in the Backfield
(airdate: Jan. 25, 1978)
Amy Jarvis, player/owner of a
women's professional football team,
seeks the Angels' help after two
thugs on motorcycles attack one of
her players on the practice field.
Her team, the Ducks, is scheduled to
play an exhibition game at the Los
Angeles Coliseum the following week.
Charlie notes that Sabrina and Kelly
once took part on a police football
team, and instructs the Angels to go
undercover as members of the Ducks.
Julia Smyth, owner of the Ducks'
opponent, tries to recruit
quarterback Sabrina for her team.
Sabrina notices that Julia rides a
motorcycle, and suspects that she
might be involved in the attack.
Kelly and Kris hope to wrap up the
case before the game so that they
don't have to play, while Sabrina
wants to teach the overconfident
Julia a lesson. A mean-spirited
woman named Grinelda continually
takes cheap shots at Kris during
practice. She taunts Kris and nearly
baits her into a fight, but Kelly
shows up and kicks her ass. Bosley
develops a rapport with Pokey, a
receiver who often becomes confused
on the field because she suffers
from dyslexia. Kelly befriends Joe
Phillips, a washed-up ex-jock who
frequently attends the Ducks'
practices. The motorcyclists attack
Kelly and Joe in a parking lot after
their lunch date. Kelly draws a
sketch of one of the bikes, and
Bosley tracks down the name of
individuals who have recently
purchased that model. Kelly and Kris
visit a garage, only to discover Joe
and some friends leaving in a van.
Kris finds a blueprint of the
Coliseum on the premises. They
realize that Joe and his friends are
planning to steal the proceeds from
the previous night's rock concert.
They tried to scare the Ducks so
that the game would be cancelled or
moved, leaving the stadium vacant.
After foiling the heist, the Angels
learn that Grinelda and Julia are
old friends; Grinelda was obviously
planted to steal the Ducks' plays.
The Angels take the field with a
13-point deficit and under two
minutes to play. They thwart
Grinelda by changing plays among
themselves after leaving the huddle.
Kelly scores a touchdown, and Kris
recovers the kick-off after Sabrina
convinces Grinelda that she is going
to attempt an onside kick. Sabrina
finally calls a pass play to Pokey,
aware that she will run the wrong
direction and be left open. She
scores a touchdown with no time
remaining, and Amy kicks the winning
extra point and gains the approval
of her gruff father.

The Sandcastle Murders
(airdate: Feb. 1, 1978)
Betsy Harper, a girl who lives on
the beach near Kris's house,
approaches her in a panic. She hints
that she has information about a
crime, but refuses to elaborate and
runs off. Despite Bosley's
objections, Charlie agrees to Kris's
request that they postpone a
lucrative case and try to help
Betsy. Kelly and Kris return to the
beach, but find that Betsy has
become the latest victim of a serial
murderer known as the "sandcastle
killer." They get harassed by Lt.
Francona, Charlie's former partner
on the force, who is extremely
bitter over Charlie's success. Kris
and Kelly talk with Melissa
Rossiter, the president of the
makeup company that employed Betsy,
who sometimes gave her a place to
stay. They are surprised to learn
that Melissa is engaged to employee
Larry Fallon, as a lifeguard had
told Kelly that Fallon had recently
been involved with Betsy. While
working the hamburger stand, Bosley
spots Gerson, a man who had upset
Betsy by spying on her through
binoculars. Kris and beach security
guard Dave Christopher trail Gerson
to the Santa Monica pier and look
through his van. Sabrina gets a job
at the cosmetics firm in order to
get close to Larry, and finds that
he is not a suspect in the murders.
She learns that Melissa is married
to Dave, who hopes to get a large
piece of her company in the divorce
settlement. Gerson attacks Kris at
her beach house, but Sabrina and
Kelly arrive to help. Dave shows up
conveniently and hauls Gerson into
jail. The next day, Lt. Francona
smugly warns Kris that Gerson made
bail. Sabrina notes the victims'
physical resemblance to Melissa and
suspects that Dave plans to kill her
and take her fortune; he arranged
the other murders so that her death
would appear to be the work of a
serial killer. Melissa believes her
theory is crazy, as Dave has just
agreed to grant the divorce. Melissa
meets Dave at the vacant pier
amusement park, where she finds that
Gerson is dead. Dave gloats that he
will murder Melissa; then tells
everyone that he captured the
"sandcastle killer," but killed him
in a struggle. The Angels emerge and
pursue him. He falls into the water
after Bosley shoots him, but Sabrina
dives in and saves him.

that she wants to come home, and
adds that she has some information
for the police. When Amy arrives at

begin following Kelly. Sabrina

and accuses him of forcibly taking
over the rights to Amy's songwriting
publishing company. His henchman
follows Sabrina to an apartment
building and shoots at her. The
building is the residence of John
Donegar, Amy's manager. He admits
that he used his power of attorney
to sell the publishing company
without permission (under coercion),
and agrees to turn himself in so
that the police will protect him
from Cooperman. Kelly ditches the
guy following her, and then has
Sabrina trail him. She follows him
to a laundromat, where he and his
friend remove a soap machine. When
Lenny overhears Kris talking with
Bosley on the phone, he pulls a gun
on her. Bosley notes a discrepancy
in the mileage of the cab trip and
realizes that Lenny purposely left a
stop out of his log. Kelly and
Sabrina follow the killers to their
rendezvous with Lenny, and bail out
Kris. After subduing the men, they
discover that the soap machine is
filled with packets of cocaine. They
were involved in an elaborate

Life (airdate: Feb. 15, 1978)
Toy manufacturer Leland Swinnerton
(a.k.a. Mother Goose) seeks the
Angels' help after someone begins
sabotaging his company as part of a
takeover attempt. The Angels suspect
an inside job, so Sabrina goes to
the factory as a wealthy
businessman's daughter hoping to
learn the toy business. Gordon
Roclair, a brilliant designer who
often clashes with Leland because
the boss discourages his fascination
with "horror toys," suspects that
Sabrina is trying to arrange a
takeover. He tells her that the
business will soon fail. A
wire-tapper breaks into the factory
and is found mysteriously shot to
death in the design room. Kelly and
Kris approach the man's
opportunistic fiancé and pay her
off. She reveals that Larry was
working for Tony Phelan, a mobster

company for use as a front. Kris
flies onto Tony's property in a hang
glider and wins his approval. Kelly
approaches Larry's replacement, Jack

a partnership. They record Sabrina
arranging to sell Leland's new
designs to Gordon. Tony calls Gordon
over to the house and orders him to
get the plans and sell them to him.
Kris eavesdrops and learns that
Larry was killed by a realistic toy
cannon designed by Gordon, who had
rigged it with the hopes of shooting
Leland. Jack kidnaps Kelly after
Donna sells her out and gives away
her identity. Kelly runs a red light
to attract the attention of the
police, and gets pulled over. Jack
throws the gun out the window and
tries to refute Kelly's kidnapping
claim; but Bosley approaches with
the discarded weapon. After Tony
obtains the plans from Sabrina, Kris
(dressed as a giant doll) pulls a
switch to make it appear that he
double-crossed Tony. Sabrina, Kelly
and Bosley approach and suggest that
he give himself up, but he refuses.
He tries to escape the furious Tony
and his associate by dashing into
the design room, forgetting that he
had rigged his cannon in another
attempt to kill Leland. He passes
out; unaware that Kris had plugged
the cannon with her gum. Leland
gives the Angels dolls of themselves
to thank them for saving his
business.

(airdate: Feb. 22, 1978)
A woman who runs a building that is
mainly populated by hookers seeks
Charlie's help after two of her
tenants are murdered. The Angels
move into the building, while Bosley
grudgingly takes a job as the
maintenance man. A resident named
Melanie insists that the culprit is
Freddie, a strange and temperamental
delivery boy from the Italian
restaurant across the street. The
killer attacks another girl, but
Kris and Kelly save her. Sabrina
notes that all of the victims have
been blondes and suspects a pattern.
They contact an expert psychologist,
who theorizes that the murderer is
killing look-alikes to deal with his
aggression toward a woman in his
life. Kris agrees to a meeting on a
yacht with one of the victims'
former clients. He acts strangely
and complains about his wife, but
does not attempt to harm her. Roman
Vail, owner of the restaurant that
employs Freddie, strangles another
of the apartment building's
residents and leaves Freddie's shark
tooth necklace at the scene. Freddie
gets into an altercation with
Melanie and is found hiding in the
apartment of a woman who is on
vacation. He denies any involvement
in the killings. Sabrina and Kelly
note that he cannot be the murderer
because Melanie is African American
and does not fit into the pattern.
They conclude that he has been set
up. Kris, who had gone to the
restaurant to wait for Freddie, sees
Roman throw a fit of anger after a
blonde customer repeatedly rejects
him. She sees scratches on his neck
and realizes that he received them
from a victim who tried to defend
herself. Kris has to fight off an
attack until her friends arrive. The

bicycles until he crashes into a
car. They learn from his ramblings
that the woman at the restaurant was
his ex-wife, Mary.

Antique Angels (airdate: May
10, 1978)
Some men convince a security guard
to open a gate by pretending to film
a movie. They shoot him to death and
break into the building; where they
steal libidrium, a highly
radioactive fuel. The head of the
facility seeks the Angels' help to
locate the thieves and keep them
from selling the libidrium to a
foreign power. Sabrina notices
unusual tire tracks at the scene of
the crime, and realizes that they
came from an old-fashioned car. The
Angels and Bosley acquire a car from
Charlie and head for an antique car
rally in nearby Termo. While
searching for a car with tires
matching the tracks found at the
crime scene, Sabrina encounters Carl
Nichols, an uptight young man who
freaks out when she tries to look at
his engine. Bosley later reveals
that Nichols is an ex-convict.
Bosley meets a charming woman, but
fears that she is up to something
when a computer check shows that she
lied about her name. He later learns

money. Kris snoops around the other
suspects' car and discovers the
libidrium fastened to the bottom.
She gets caught and is held hostage.
Bosley, Kelly and Sabrina chase
after the thieves in Nichols' car.
Kris struggles with the men to
distract them during the shootout,

roadblocks set up by the Angels'
client and conclude a deal off the
coast.

3rd SEASON (1978 - 1979)
Angels in Vegas (part 1)
(airdate: Sep. 18, 1978)
Frank Howell, owner of the Tropicana
casino in Las Vegas, seeks the
Angels' help after two of his
employees are killed. He mentions
other mysterious happenings, and
suspects that someone is out to get
him. Sabrina poses as his assistant,
and they quickly begin falling for
each other. Kelly wins a spot in the
chorus line and befriends Joan
Wells, the dance captain and
roommate of one of the victims, Mary
Phillips. Kris gets a job as a
backup singer for Marty Cole. He
mentions that she bears a striking
resemblance to his late wife.
Someone in a black truck fires a
shot at comedian Joey January. Frank
believes that the incident was
staged, as the disgruntled Joey is
trying to use it to get out of his
contract. Kelly notes that Joan
seems to bristle at the mention of
Mark Hanes, manager of a nearby
casino. She goes to Hanes'
establishment and meets him,
claiming to be an old friend of Mary
Phillips. She tests his reaction by
claiming that her mother is sending
her a letter in which Mary described
the source of her recent
unhappiness. A man who uses a
calculator to predict the odds of
dice games wins a ton of money at
the Tropicana. The driver of the
black truck runs over Frank's good
friend, Jib Baker, in the parking
lot. After Frank and Sabrina visit
Jib, Marty Cole sneaks in and
injects something into his IV.

Angels in Vegas (part 2)
(airdate: Sep. 13, 1978)
Jib dies of respiratory failure.
Sabrina notices strange footprints
in his hospital room. Kelly is
continually followed by a
thug-for-hire named Ed Slocum. Kelly
learns that Hanes had been
romantically involved with Mary
Phillips, but she broke things off
because he scared her. Bosley takes
a spill on a golf cart behind
Slocum's car to prevent him from
trailing Kelly as she goes to see
Hanes. She accuses him of forcing
Mary off the road and killing her.
The professor continues to
accumulate huge winnings at the
craps table, with Slocum at his side
for protection. Sabrina tries to
convince Frank to take the loss, to
no avail. She does manage to coax
him into going out for a picnic with
Kris and Marty. Someone fires shots
from a speedboat. They nearly catch
up to the culprits, but Marty
covertly sabotages the boat and cuts
off their engine. Hanes meets with
Marty and congratulates him for
orchestrating Frank's apparent
downfall. However, Hanes threatens
to kill him if he learns that he was
to blame for Mary's death. Frank
tries to fire the Angels for their
own safety after learning that
Sabrina was the gunman's intended
target. A suspicious Marty kidnaps
Kris at gunpoint and takes her to
his house. He confesses to all of
the murders, explaining that he
wanted revenge on Frank for his
wife's death. Marty was certain that
they were going to have an affair,
and Leslie drove away and crashed
her car after an argument. Marty
believes that she killed herself for
some reason. Kelly, Sabrina and
Bosley become concerned by Kris's
disappearance, and Joan reports
seeing her leave with Marty. They
ambush Slocum, and Kelly threatens
to kill him unless he takes them to
Kris. Slocum tries to warn Marty,
but Kris throws his driver/bodyguard
through a window and escapes. Marty
and Slocum try to come after the
Angels in his truck; Sabrina shoots
out the tires and forces them to
crash. Despite Sabrina's pleas,
Frank insists on giving the
professor one final hand, with the
entire casino as the stakes. The
professor loses, much to the chagrin
of Frank's enemies. Before heading
home, the Angels meet handsome local
private eye Dan Tana.

Angel Come Home (airdate:
Sep. 20, 1978)
Jill returns to Los Angeles after
receiving an emergency telegram
supposedly sent by Kris. She gets a
message asking her to meet Paul
Ferrino, an ex-boyfriend who once
gave her a job on his racing team,
in a parking lot. Paul claims not to
have sent the message, and suspects
that someone is using her to find
him. Jill takes off on the back of
Paul's motorcycle without telling
her sister or friends where she is
going. Paul shows off his new car,
which has a super turbo-charged
engine that burns far less fuel than
the average car. He hopes to receive
a patent for his invention and
become wealthy, but needs Jill to
drive it in the U.S. Grand Prix to
prove that it is safe. Jill runs
into her fiancé, Steve Carmody, who
has followed her back from Europe.
Paul's car suddenly bursts into
flames, injuring mechanic Danny
Bligh. The fire is quickly
extinguished, but Paul suspects
sabotage. Kris is shocked to see a
woman named Andrea Lassiter kissing
Steve at a press conference; but
Steve immediately confesses the
incident to Jill and insists that he
has no interest in Andrea. Kelly,
posing as a magazine reporter, pries
information about Paul's enemies
from Danny. A background check
reveals that Steve has heavy
gambling debts and once got into a
fight with Paul after the latter
cheated in a race. Sabrina follows
Steve and snaps photographs of him
having a clandestine meeting with
Danny. Steve freely answers Kris's
questions about his past, but flips
out after she presents the
photograph. The Angels follow him to
the raceway, where he takes Paul's
car out onto the track. They
discover that he was testing the car
to ease his fears about Jill driving
it in the race. As he brings the car
back in, it explodes and kills him.
Danny informs Andrea that he is
going on the lam. While Kris tries
to console a devastated Jill, the
others track down Danny. Bosley
hitches his trailer and drives it to
the police station, and Sabrina and
Kelly jump inside and demand some
answers. Danny reveals that he built
two bombs, under orders from Paul.
Paul was the one who planted the
bombs. His invention had failed, so
he decided to blow up the car
(staging the earlier explosion so
that he could claim sabotage) and
get a grant to start over. Jill
overhears Paul and Andrea discussing
their plot. Paul chases her, but
Kelly and Sabrina show up and stop
him. Kris, Kelly and Sabrina offer
Jill their love and support; and
cheer her a little by putting
together a picnic on the beach and
making fun of Bosley.

Angel on High (airdate: Sep.
27, 1978)
Joan Freeman is accidentally struck
by a car and killed while crossing a
street in tiny Caines Corners,
California. During her funeral, two
men torch the county records office
in order to destroy her files.
Jonathan Stambler contacts the
Angels for help locating Joan's son,
Bill. Joan had suddenly broken off
their engagement 35 years earlier,
and Stambler suspects that she had
been pregnant with his child. The
Angels go to Caines Corners to
investigate, and are confronted by a
man on Joan's property. He is shot
to death moments later, and the
Angels are able to identify him as
an employee of Brockhurst
Industries, a corporation with
syndicate ties. Sabrina flies to New
York to meet with George Faylon, CEO
of Brockhurst Industries. She learns
that Joan was the daughter of the
company founder, but cut all ties to
her father because she objected to
his lifestyle. Sabrina theorizes
that Faylon didn't want the employee
to find Bill because he is the
potential heir to the company. One
of the men who torched the records
office follows Sabrina to New York
and takes a shot at her. Kelly, Kris
and Bosley fly to Reno to see Bill
take part in an air show. Kelly
meets lone wolf Bill and quickly
develops a connection with him, but
Stambler objects to her refusal to
immediately tell Bill the purpose of
her mission. The other man
responsible for the fire hits on
Kris in order to stay close to her
and monitor the investigation.
Evelyn Wales, Stambler's nurse and
personal assistant, is actually
behind the fire and attempt on
Sabrina's life. Fearing that she is
about to lose her claim on
Stambler's estate, she orders the
men to kill Kelly, Kris and Bill.
They take the trio prisoner, but
Bill overpowers one of their captors
and Sabrina and Bosley help
apprehend the men. They quickly
reveal their connection to Miss
Wales. Despite Kelly's pleas, Bill
insists on leaving town instead of
meeting Stambler and undergoing
tests to find out if they are father
and son. Stambler is heartbroken,
but concludes that Bill will
eventually have a change of heart.

Angels in Springtime
(airdate: Oct. 11, 1978)
Acclaimed actress Eve Le Deux is
electrocuted in a hot tub at a
women's only spa, supposedly because
of bad wiring. Her niece suspects
foul play, noting that Eve's memoirs
were not found among her personal
effects. Sabrina and Kris join the
facility's staff; and receive a less
than warm welcome from their new
boss, Ingrid. Physical therapist
Zora catches Kris snooping around
and threatens her. Kelly arrives as
a guest, and notes that her room is
bugged and equipped with a peephole.
Actress Norma Powers, a charming but
cantankerous guest who was one of
Eve's closest friends, warns Kris
that Ingrid has given away her true
identity. Someone locks Kris inside
the steam room and tries to kill
her, but Kelly saves her. When he is
unable to get a message to Sabrina,
Bosley poses as an electrician to
gain entry to the spa. He informs
her that Zora has threatened and
bribed staff member Amy O'Toole, the
last person to see Eve alive, to get
her to keep quiet about what she may
have seen. The doctor tries to
hypnotize Kelly to get her to reveal
information about possible scandals
in her life. When she attempts to
give her an injection of truth
serum, Kelly puts her in a headlock.
The doctor reveals that she and Zora
have been blackmailing the guests.
However, Eve was not among their
victims. Norma actually murdered Eve
to prevent her from publishing
incriminating facts about her, as
she couldn't handle the shame. She
pays Zora to track down the
manuscript. Zora catches Kris
searching for the book, and she and
Norma bury her under a series of
herbal wrap treatments. Kelly,
Sabrina and Bosley burst in just as
the duo is about to smother her.
Norma makes a break for it, but
Kelly and Sabrina catch her. They
are surprised when she gets out of
her wheelchair and tries to run.
They later learn that she sprained
her ankle several years ago, and
continued to use the wheelchair
because she liked the attention.
Eve's niece shows the Angels a photo
of Charlie on the stage with her
aunt, but his face is hidden by a
mask.

Winning is for Losers
(airdate: Oct. 18, 1978)
Kris goes to watch her longtime
friend, Linda Frye, play in a
professional golf tournament. A
sniper takes a shot at Linda at the
close of the round, and she admits
that someone has been trying to
force her to withdraw. The Angels
check into the hotel near the course
to watch over Linda, and someone
throws a brick through her window.
Bosley strikes up a conversation
with Donna Dawson, a veteran player
who is Linda's chief rival for the
tourney title. She admits that she
would do anything to win the
prestigious event for a third time.
Kris and Linda go to stay at her
secluded childhood home. The
individuals harassing Linda
transport alligators from a nearby
swamp to put in the creek, and
sabotage a bridge. Kris has to
wrestle an alligator until Bill
Montclair, Linda's manager and
attorney, arrives to help them.
Sabrina catches a strange man in an
army jacket eavesdropping as Linda
and the Angels talk at the hotel. He
has been lurking around for days,
but claims that he is just a fan in
search of an autograph. Bill objects
too strongly when Sabrina questions
the man. He is actually one of two
men whom Bill owes a great deal of
money. After he tells them that he
cannot get Linda to withdraw from
the tournament, they order him to
kill her during the final round. He
refuses, and gets shot to death in a
scuffle after threatening to contact
the police. Linda considers quitting
the tourney, but eventually decides
to keep playing. Bosley accuses
Donna of hiring hit men to take out
Linda, but she adamantly insists
that she would not want to play
without strong competition. The
Angels thwart the killers' attempt
to take out Linda, and she makes the
winning putt on the 18th hole. Bill
had borrowed money from the duo to
help pay the estate taxes on Linda's
house, with the promise that she
would sell it to them later for a
good price. They were trying to
prevent her from becoming a
successful golfer so that she could
afford to keep the place.

Haunted Angels (airdate: Oct.
25, 1978)
Claire Rossmore, Bosley's bridge
partner, believes that her dead
nephew Martin has spoken to her at
the psychic institute she has funded
since his death in a motorcycle
crash five years earlier. Bosley
believes that someone is trying to
scam Claire out of her money, as she
had threatened to withdraw her
support unless they succeeded in
making contact with Martin. Kris
goes undercover as a graduate
student majoring in parapsychology,
with Sabrina as her subject. They
cheat during the testing session so
that Dr. Holden, the head of the
facility, will believe Sabrina has
special abilities. A psychic named
Eric Knight makes a connection with
Kris, but realizes that she is not
who she claims to be. TV psychic
Peter Russell and his assistant,
Kathy Wade, conduct an experiment at
Claire's request. Both can be seen
on video screens throughout the
event. Martin suddenly begins
speaking, and becomes quite angry;
Kathy is found dead by an apparent
blow to the back of the neck. A
baffled Bosley and Kelly investigate
Martin's past, and discover that he
had a violent temper. Kelly learns
from Kathy Wade's grandmother that
the young woman had been dating
Martin at the time of his death. As
they are talking, her shop suddenly
begins shaking for no apparent
reason. Bosley tries to convince a
guilt-ridden Claire to let go, as
she was not to blame for Martin's
death. Claire convinces Peter to
re-create the experiment from the
night Kathy was killed, with Sabrina
in her place. As everyone waits in
the house that evening, Kelly's room
begins shaking. She also sees
someone riding a motorcycle on the
grounds. Sabrina snoops in the
basement and discovers hidden
electronic equipment. She deduces
that Peter slipped in a videotape so
that he could sneak out of the room
and kill Kathy without detection.
Peter grabs Sabrina at gunpoint and
tries to leave with her. She
escapes, and Peter is apprehended
when Bosley rides up on the
motorcycle that Peter had stashed on
the grounds. Peter made it seem as
though Martin was talking by editing
the tapes that he had sent his aunt
from college. He had hoped to seize
control of the institute, and killed
Kathy when she threatened to expose
him. He also created the
disturbances in the house and at
Mrs. Brendleberry's shop through the
use of sound waves.

Pom Pom Angels (airdate: Nov.
1, 1978)
The owner of a professional football
team enlists the Angels' help after
two cheerleaders and their group
leader disappear. The team had
received threatening letters from a
religious fanatic since introducing
the cheerleaders a few weeks
earlier. Kelly and Kris join the
squad, with Sabrina filling in as
the leader. A recently cut player
threatens Kelly for replacing a
cheerleader that he liked. She
assures him that she had nothing to
do with the woman's disappearance,
and manages to calm him and convince
him to get some rest. Timothy Asher,
the son of an agent with connections
to the team, is considered a suspect
because of his habit of staring at
the girls and generally acting
creepy. Kris learns that his mother
forces him to attend seminary school
in order to keep him away from
women. Kris gets Bosley to distract
Timothy's mother so that she can go
out with him and ask some questions.
Eddie Cobb, the team's public
relations director, sends Timothy
away while Kris is making a phone
call. He drugs her coffee and
kidnaps her. She awakens in an
abandoned building, where Eddie and
a priestess have cut the hair of the
cheerleaders and their leader and
forced them to wear sack cloth as
penance for acting "sinful." Kelly
and Sabrina learn of Kris's
disappearance and seek the aid of
Eddie's best friend for information
on his possible whereabouts. He
explains that Eddie has experienced
mental problems on and off since the
death of his sister, who had run
away and become a prostitute. They
deduce that Eddie is holding Kris
and the others at an old printing
plant where he used to play cards
with his friends. Kris turns on her
captors, and ends up knocking over
some candles and setting the place
on fire. She escapes with the other
victims and the priestess, and
Sabrina helps her return to save
Eddie from the flames. Charlie sends
the Angels on a tropical vacation as
a reward for their work.

drowns during a cruise, not long
after she had reported seeing an
escaped convict who is wanted for
murder. Cap. Jack McGuire, head of
the cruise line, calls on the Angels
to investigate the series of
mysterious accidents that have
plagued his ships. Purser Leo
Sanchez has allegedly been helping
wanted criminals get false
identification and skip the country

an embezzler in need of aid in the

the head of the operation. Kelly

detective, and is unhappy with his
boss for seeking outside assistance.
Sabrina realizes that a number of
crew members are involved after the
photo for her fake passport is taken
about the ship. Kris bedevils
musician Mark Correll by teasing him
about a time they supposedly met in
the past. She discovers that he is a
talented artist, and could have been
involved in passport forgeries.
Kelly introduces Bosley to Joan, a
charming widow who is taking her
first singles cruise. He immediately
develops a strong connection with
her. Someone gives Kelly a note
asking her to meet in the boiler
room to discuss the case, and then
sets the room on fire. Kris manages
to pull her out of the flames. She
later snoops in Mark's room and
discovers that he has his own
printing press. Kris hides in a
closet and overhears Mark and Leo
planning to kill Kelly, as they have
learned that she is a detective.
Everyone tries desperately to find
Kelly during the masquerade ball,
but she has been kidnapped. The
ship's doctor is in charge of the
operation, and the captain made the
mistake of entrusting him with
Kelly's secret. They plan to drown
Kelly in the pool and make it appear
as though she was drunk, but decide
to bring in Sabrina as a witness.
She knocks out Leo and trades
costumes with him. Sabrina, Kris and
Bosley subdue all of the criminals.
Bosley is shocked to discover that
Joan had murdered all four of her
husbands, and was attempting to flee
to Brazil.

Mother Angel (airdate: Nov.
15, 1978)
An orphaned girl breaks into the
greenhouse of Victor Buckley, the
ex-boyfriend of her jet-setting
aunt, and sees him kill a man during
an argument. She contacts the Angels
after finding Jill's business card
in her aunt's rolodex. Everyone is
dubious about her story, but Bosley
finally asks Kris and the visiting
Jill to conduct a cursory
investigation. Samantha's nanny
tells them that Sam has an extremely
vivid imagination, and once had a
crush on Buckley. Kris assumes that
the girl is just looking for
attention, and wants to call the
whole thing off. Jill recalls that
Sam claimed the dead man was from
Boston, and decides to at least
search the lot for a car with
Massachusetts license plates. After
she finds the car, two men chase her
and take the vehicle to a junkyard.
Kris and Bosley learn that the car
has been crushed, but obtain the
license plate. Charlie sends
Buckley's maid on an all-expenses
paid trip to Ireland so that Sabrina
can replace her and get Buckley's
fingerprints. Kelly distracts him by
posing as a wealthy horticulture
aficionado. Sam, determined to work
on the case, runs away from Jill at
the beauty parlor. Buckley catches
her snooping around his apartment
and demands to know if she witnessed
the murder. She escapes when Kelly
drops by for a visit. The two goons
kidnap Jill and Sam from her beach
house and hold them captive on
Buckley's boat. He expects them to
kill the duo, but they refuse
because it violates their morals.
Jill helps Sam break out of the
locked room, and Sam swipes the keys
to the padlock and springs Jill. The
Angels arrive to help take down
Buckley and his associates. The
murdered man was a bail bondsman, as
Buckley had jumped bail after an
arrest for jewel theft several years
earlier.

friends to go to an appointment. In
the restaurant parking lot, she sees
a man beat the manager to death with
a pipe as retaliation for banning
him from the eatery the previous
week. When she tries to stop the
killer, he backs into her with his
car and knocks her into the garbage
cans. She awakes with amnesia and
wanders off. Kelly, Sabrina and
Bosley realize that something is
amiss when Kris doesn't show up for

drops her gun and runs away in a
panic. Kelly, Sabrina and Bosley
learn Kris's probable location
through a newsstand owner and the
cabbie. They run into her attackers,

Angels Belong in Heaven
(airdate: Dec. 6, 1978)
Tom Norton, who owes Charlie a
favor, leaves an answering machine
message warning that an acquaintance
has hired a hit man to kill one of
the Angels. Before he can identify
the target, the assassin shoots him
to death. The Angels take the tape
to a police expert, who concludes
that the call came from the airport.
They find the body in a phone booth.
Kelly takes her house guest,
longtime friend Sally Miles, to a
hotel out of concern for her safety.
Someone forces Bosley's car off the
road with Kris and Sabrina aboard,
leading them to draw the conclusion
that one of them must be the
intended victim. Kris gets a scare
when she sees someone following her
car, but discovers that he just
wants to take her picture. The
assassin shoots at Sabrina; she
finds it suspicious that the bullets
struck her tires, and wonders if he
might have missed intentionally.
Bosley discovers that Norton had a
connection with John Gorman (a.k.a.
Wilson Flicker), a passenger on a
flight that arrived just before
Norton was killed. Gorman eavesdrops
on Kelly and Sally from the hotel
room next door. The hit man kidnaps
Kelly outside her house and demands
details of her conversations with
Sally. He stupidly leaves bullets on
a coffee table, and Kelly pilfers
one while he ransacks her apartment.
She eventually retrieves her gun and
shoots him out the window, where
Kris is waiting to discourage any
further attempts on Kelly's life.
Bosley prevents Gorman from
escaping, and a stunned Sally
arrives to see her fiancé hauled
away in handcuffs. Kelly had busted
him five years earlier for romancing
a wealthy woman and bilking her out
of her fortune with phony investment
opportunities. He had planned to do
away with Kelly before she could
warn Sally about his past.

Angels in the Stretch
(airdate: Dec. 20, 1978)
Les Ferrar, a man who makes his
living betting the horses, notes
something odd about the behavior of
Perdition, a colt that has finished
out of the money in every race.
Exerciser Kevin Ryan and stablehand
Gates catch him snooping around the
stables; Gates hits him in the head
with a shovel and kills him. They
try to make it appear as though he
was trampled by an ill-tempered
stallion. Ferrar's daughter Valerie
refuses to believe that his death
was an accident, and hires the
Angels to confirm her hunch. Valerie
and Sabrina discover a note among
Ferrar's personal effects in which
he mentioned a white spot on a
horse's lower left cheek. Sabrina
gets a job as a horse exerciser and
becomes friends with Ryan. Kelly
strikes up a rapport with wealthy
Carter Gillis. Sabrina rides
Perdition and finds that he is
extremely fast. However, everyone
keeps insisting that the horse is a
dud, and Kris and Bosley's attempt
to buy him is ignored. Sabrina finds
that Perdition has a white spot on
his lower left cheek, although she
had not noticed one earlier in the
week. Gates tries to attack Sabrina,
but his heart gives out because of
his bad temper and constant
drinking. Charlie reports that
Perdition has a twin; the Angels
realize that someone has decided to
pull a switch and run the faster
horse in order to collect on the
long odds. Kris and Bosley track
down the real Perdition and bring
him back to the track. They switch
the horses back and hang around the
windows to see who places unusually
large bets on the colt. Ryan and
Gillis each bet heavily on

Angels on Vacation (airdate:
Jan. 10, 1978)
The Angels and Bosley head for
Paylon, Arizona for a few days of
rest and relaxation. Shortly before
their arrival, Kris's uncle
Paul--the town sheriff--is taken
away at gunpoint. The townspeople
become frantic when Kris begins
inquiring about her uncle's
whereabouts. Someone busts the
headlights on Bosley's car, and the
hotel claims to have lost their
reservation. When the only other
hotel in town claims to have no
vacancies, the Angels realize that
the residents are trying to drive
them away. Sabrina notes that there
do not seem to be any women in the
town. They head for the home of
Kris's aunt Lydia, the mayor, in
search of answers. A deputy and
another man follow them and begin
shooting. Kelly kills both men
during the shootout. A panicked
Lydia explains that the dead men had
killed the real deputy and taken his
uniform. They are part of a group
that has taken Paul and all of the
women in town hostage, hoping to
exchange them for a federal prisoner
who was recently captured in the
nearby mountains. If the other men
do not hear from their cohorts in a
few hours, they will kill everyone.
Kris uses one of her uncle's radio
units and poses as a CB fanatic; the
kidnapper asks Paul to get her off
of the line, and he covertly reveals
their location. Lydia sneaks into
the group's campsite to warn the
elderly women about the Angels'
plans. The trio dresses in old
clothes and mingles among the
ladies. They knock out the captors
and take away their guns.

Counterfeit Angels (airdate:
Jan. 24, 1979)
Three women impersonating the Angels
pretend to conduct a security check
for a company, only to rob the
place. The near-sighted secretary
identifies the real Angels as the
culprits. Charlie pretends to
cooperate with the police, and then
has Bosley give the Angels access to
his apartment at an exclusive men's
club so that they can remain free
and conduct an investigation. They
try to show the witness that she has
made a mistake, but she freaks out
and starts screaming. The scam is
actually being orchestrated by
impressionist Mickey Biggs; who
imitates Charlie over the phone to
set up an appointment, and then
sends in impostors hired by his
agent. He hopes to pay off his
gambling debts; but Asher, the man
he owes, sees the opportunity for a
big score. Carol Brewster, the woman
impersonating Sabrina, gets hit by a
car while fleeing from a jewelry
store robbery. Bosley identifies her
as Sabrina, as they would not be
able to catch the man behind the
plot if an arrest were made so soon.
Sabrina poses as Carol's sister and
is welcomed into the gang. Asher
forces Biggs to set up a theft at a
think tank, which hosts important
papers that are worth millions.
Bosley has the women posing as Kris
and Kelly arrested so that they can
take their places and go after Biggs
partner, and Charlie informs the man
in charge of the think tank of their
plans. However, Asher has arranged
for two crooked security guards to
do away with his accomplices. Kelly
and Sabrina grab Asher and Biggs and
take care of the guards.

Disco Angels (airdate: Jan.
31, 1979)
A homeless man is strangled by a
serial killer who preys on elderly
men just after they get off the city
bus. All of the victims had some
connection to a disco called
Freddie's, so the Angels go
undercover at the establishment.
Kris wins a job as partner for
Mario, a handsome dancer who is
studying to become a lawyer. She
meets his father, who doesn't seem
to care much for other senior
citizens. Kelly pitches new records
to Harry Owens, a popular but
eccentric D.J. Sabrina poses as a
reporter for Disco Magazine and
investigates owner Fred Heston, who
had argued with the deceased on the
night of the most recent murder.
Heston uses Harry as his alibi
because he was with his
mistress/secretary all night. He
fears that his wife hired the Angels
to prove his infidelity and help her
get a hefty divorce settlement.
Heston shares his suspicions with
Harry, who tries to attack Kelly. He
is interrupted by a visit from his
father, who lambastes him for
forgetting an appointment to put
flowers on his mother's grave. Harry
flies into a blind rage, and Kelly
suspects that he might be killing
other elderly men to deal with his
anger toward his father. Bosley
discovers that Harry lost his
driver's license after a drunk
driving conviction a few months
earlier, and had likely been riding
the bus with the victims. Harry
tries to bar Kelly from the club and
gets into an argument with Mario.
Mario's father screams at Harry and
calls him a worthless bum. Kelly and
Kris follow the men to the beach and
manage to thwart Harry's attempt to
kill Mr. Montero.

Terror on Skis (part 1 & 2)
(airdate: Feb. 7, 1979)
An FBI agent assigned to protect
Carl Hansworth, the president's
special envoy to the U.N.,
disappears near a ski trail in Vail,
Colorado shortly after trying to
deliver an urgent message to
Washington. Agent Chadway
reluctantly goes along with his
boss's wishes and enlists the Angels
to aid with both the search and
security for Hansworth, who is
participating in a skiing
competition. Hansworth immediately
expresses an interest in Kelly,
while Bosley tries to convince
Hansworth's overworked secretary
that she is attractive. Kris and
Chadway search for the missing
agent, and two men shoot at them.
Chadway finds his friend's body in a
snowbank, where he has been shot to
death. A stubborn Hansworth refuses
to consider leaving town or quitting
the competition. Sabrina notes the
odd behavior of a ski jumper named
Paolo, who blows up at a fan for
snapping a photograph. She purchases
the camera so that the FBI can
develop the film and run a check on
Paolo. They are unaware that he is
the son of one of the men who killed
the agent and fired at Kris and
Chadway. Sabrina and Kelly see Paolo
shove others out of the way in his
eagerness to ride a ski lift with
Hansworth. He plans to shoot
Hansworth under orders from his
father, but drops the gun off the
lift when the Angels and Chadway
follow. They exchange shots with
Paolo's father and his partner.
Paolo shows up with Hansworth and
feigns innocence, but no one
believes him. A background check
reveals that Paolo is a member of a
group called Patriots for a Free
Society. His father, Vincenti, and
their friend Franco were arrested in
a protest outside an international
banking conference while Hansworth
was in Rome. Unfortunately, the
Angels and Chadway have no visual
identification of Vincenti and
Franco. Vincenti remains bitter
about his time in prison. Although
Franco tries to convince him to let
it go, he is determined to make an
example out of Hansworth. Sabrina
enters the slalom ski competition to
stay close to Hansworth. She agrees
to a picnic with Paolo in the hopes
of learning more about his
background. He reveals that his
father was a professor of economics
who organized a movement decrying
what he viewed as an international
banking conspiracy. Sabrina sees
Vincenti and Franco approaching and
flees. She skis away from them, but
eventually crashes and is captured.
The men inform Hansworth that they
will only release Sabrina if he
turns himself over to them. He
ignores Chadway's advice and insists
on making the deal. Paolo is left
alone to keep watch over Sabrina.
She realizes that he is not prone to
violence and tells him that his
father's cause has lost sight of its
original goals. He does not take
action as Sabrina phones Kelly and
makes her escape. Hansworth climbs
into a limo before the Angels can
tell him that Sabrina is free, but
Bosley tries to block its path. The
photographs of Vincenti and Franco
arrive; Kelly and Kris recognize
Franco as the limo driver and shoot
the tires. Vincenti starts shooting
and wounds Chadway, but Sabrina hits
him with a snowmobile and kills him
before he can fire again. Kelly and
Hansworth realize that their
relationship cannot work because of
his busy schedule. Elizabeth gains
confidence from her time with Bosley
and forces her boss to show her more
respect. Chadway admits that Kris's
positive attitude has tempered some
of his skepticism. He agrees to
arrange a lighter sentence for
Paolo, and surprises Kris with a
goodbye kiss.

Angel in a Box (airdate: Feb.
14, 1979)
Kris goes to a Mexican restaurant to
meet a potential client, but two men
kidnap her. They shoot out Bosley's
tires when he arrives and tries to
help. A witness reports that the
vehicle had advertising for a resort
called Georgian Acres painted on the
door. The witness had actually been
promised money to lead the Angels to
the resort; Kris's captors decide to
kill him instead. The Angels receive
a telegram that gives the impression
that the kidnappers actually meant
to nab Jill. Jill flies in from
Montreal to help with the case. The
foursome heads for the resort, with
Bosley disguised as a Scottish
golfing aficionado to hide his
identity from the kidnappers. Bosley
recognizes the tennis instructor as
one of the men who grabbed Kris, so
Jill tries to make time with him.
Jill and Sabrina catch a man
rummaging through Jill's room, and
he drops his room key in his haste
to escape. Sabrina poses as a maid
to get into the man's room, and
covertly snaps a photograph. She
finds an address scribbled on a
piece of paper next to a picture of
Kris. Kelly and Sabrina drive to
that location, and the man holding
Kris orders his associate to follow
and kill them. Sabrina realizes that
the kidnappers have deliberately
left them false clues to get them
out of the way. She knocks out the
man pursuing them, but the tennis
instructor grabs Jill in the
meantime. Bosley follows them to a
gated house. Ruiz tells Jill that
Anton Karazna arranged Kris's
kidnapping. He is certain that his
son Dino deliberately crashed his
car during a race to kill himself
because he was devastated by his
break-up with Jill. Karazna made
Jill believe she was the intended
kidnap victim so that she would feel
guilty. Jill insists that her split
with Dino was amicable. She says
that he crashed his car because he
was a lousy driver; he had been a
sensitive and poetic man forced to
pursue macho activities in order to
please his domineering father.
Karazna plans to fly Jill and Kris
to Mexico and kill them. Bosley,
Kelly and Sabrina chase after
Karazna's car, and Jill and Kris
escape. Karazna tries to flee in his
plane while his henchmen are
engaging the Angels in gunfire.
Kelly shoots his engine and forces
him to crash into a mountain and
blow up.

Teen Angels (airdate: Feb.
28, 1979)
Patty Cantwell, a student at an
exclusive all-girls school, is
strangled shortly after arguing with
her friend Liz and threatening to
report several students to the dean.
The head of the school turns to the
Angels to track down the culprit.
Kris goes undercover as a student,
with Kelly and Sabrina as teachers
and Bosley as a stablehand. Kris and
Bosley see three girls loading a
large crate into a van near the bus
depot. Bosley later mentions this to
maintenance man Victor Hoagland, but
they find that his van is empty.
Donna Rossiter, a cruel and elitist
student, harasses Kris and warns her
not to tell anyone what she has
seen. Kelly catches Donna's friend
Bo Fleming cheating on an English
test, but wins her trust by choosing
not to publicly expose her actions.
Kris discovers that her roommate,
Cissy Canfield, has a ring that was
missing from Patty's personal
effects. She finds that Cissy is a
kleptomaniac. Donna, Bo, Liz and
Cissy are selling alcohol and drugs
out of the stables. Donna bullies
Liz and accuses her of killing
Patty. When Bo tells her to back
off, Donna reports her to the dean
for cheating. Bo first believes that
Kelly ratted on her, and then
accuses Liz. Someone tries to
strangle Liz that night, but she is
able to fend off her attacker.
Bosley discovers the crate with the
girls' stash. Donna overhears him
talking with the Angels; she sets
the stables on fire with Kris,
Sabrina and Bosley trapped inside.
They escape, and are able to save
the horses. They realize that Donna
is guilty after finding that her
horse has been removed and tied up
in a safe location. Kelly talks with
Victor about his role in the girls'
scheme; he suddenly admits that he
strangled Patty because she treated
him rudely, and then grabs Kelly.
After learning that Donna set the
fire, Bo and Cissy break free of her
influence and admit that she was
blackmailing them. Donna says that
Victor helped them because she had
learned that he is the strangler. Bo
tells Sabrina and Kris that she saw
Victor drive away with Kelly. They
chase after his jeep, and Kelly is
able to untie herself and bail out.
Kris tackles Victor, and Bosley
makes good use of a tractor to keep
Donna from fleeing the scene.
Charlie sends everyone to Acapulco
as a reward for their good work.

Marathon Angels (airdate:
Mar. 7, 1979)
A woman turns to the Angels for help
after two men in masks kidnap her
friend during a jog. She explains
that they planned to enter
Twilliger's Twenty, a fifteen-mile
road race organized by a sports
clothing manufacturer. He has agreed
to pay twenty women $1000 each for
completing the race, with a bonus
prize of $5000 for the winner. The
Angels and Bosley investigate and
come across three participants and a
male friend behaving in a very
suspicious fashion. Another
competitor hides a large snake in
her backpack. The Angels ask Charlie
to run background checks on
Twilliger and Millicent Krail, a
cynical TV reporter who accuses
Twilliger of exploiting the young
women in the race. The daughter of a
wealthy sheik insists on running the
race to experience what it is like
to be an American. The men in the
masks nab a second runner. Kelly and
Kris try to enter the race to check
things out, but two sisters have
conveniently appeared to fill the
vacant spots. They refuse an offer
to let Kelly and Kris run in their
place and give them the money. Kris
and Kelly sneak into the race
wearing fake numbers, and Kelly sees
the van that may have been involved
in the kidnapping. The trio that
behaved mysteriously before the race
was actually plotting with its
manager to put on a song and dance
"audition" for the cameras during an
interview with Millicent. The woman
with the snake gives an on-air plug
for the Snake Pit restaurant.
Charlie discovers that the Craft
sisters have a criminal record, and
that the van belongs to one of two
men who was involved in a scheme
with them during their time in the
Navy. The kidnappers dump the
missing runners off at a warehouse.
The Craft sisters try to grab the
sheik's daughter, but Kris stops
them. Kelly chases the van back
toward Sabrina and Bosley, and they
force the men to lead them to the
other girls. They had taken the
runners whose numbers were directly
before and after the sheik's
daughter so that the Craft sisters
could replace them. They planned to
kidnap the woman and demand a large
ransom.

Angels in Waiting (airdate:
Mar. 21, 1979)
A man with a gun arrives in Los
Angeles and begins secretly
following Bosley. Bosley approaches
a woman in a restaurant and develops
a rapport with her, but has to leave
for the office. He grows frustrated
with his life, as he is tired of
doing all the paperwork while the
Angels are out in the field. In
order to prove that he is not
predictable, he decides to play a
game with them. He declares that he
is leaving, and challenges the
Angels to figure out where he has
gone; he will call and provide a
clue every two hours. Bosley returns
to the restaurant to meet up with
Ellen, and they head for the
amusement park at the pier. In the
meantime, Charlie calls the office
and announces that Harrison Wellman,
a man whom Bosley helped send to
prison with his testimony, has been
paroled after serving eight years
for murdering his wife. Someone
shoots at Bosley and Ellen as they
walk along the beach. After
discovering that the bullets were
blanks, he jumps to the conclusion
that the Angels are messing with his
head. They become very concerned and
ask him to come back to the office,
but he refuses. Ellen behaves very
strangely as Bosley mentions
Wellman's release. She recalls that
Wellman insisted his wife's shooting
was an accident, and implies that it
is Bosley's fault that he was sent
to prison. Charlie tells the Angels
that Wellman suffered a heart attack
just after his release and probably
will not survive. However, his
brother Lawrence flew to Los Angeles
earlier in the day. Sabrina figures
out where Bosley is, and the Angels
race for the pier to help him. Ellen
drugs Cast Bosley's coffee to
immobilize him, and then holds him
at gunpoint. She is Wellman's
sister, and is certain that Bosley
perjured himself to set up her
brother. Bosley insists that Wellman
really did murder his wife, and that
he was only doing his job. Realizing
that Ellen will not really harm him,
he climbs out of the car during a
traffic jam and stumbles away.
Lawrence chases him under the
boardwalk and tries to shoot him. He
still tries to fire even after the
Angels surround him, so Sabrina
wounds him. Lawrence and Ellen are
taken into police custody, and
Charlie sends Bosley to the Bahamas
for a vacation.

Rosemary, For Remembrance
(airdate: May 2, 1979)
Jake Garfield, a prohibition-era
gang who has just been released from
prison after serving a long sentence
for tax evasion and other crimes,
narrowly eludes several attempts on
his life. Jake's nephew, Tim Stone,
convinces him to hire the Angels for
protection. Jake has demanded that
the police re-open the 40-year-old
investigation of his wife Rosemary's
murder. He believes that his rival,
Lawrence Renaldi, mistakenly killed
Rosemary while trying to take out
Jake. Renaldi insists that he is
innocent, but Sabrina and Bosley
suspect that he is trying to silence
Jake out of fear that the
investigation might prove that
Renaldi is not the legitimate
businessman he claims to be. Renaldi
and Gordon Sanders, the police
lieutenant originally assigned to
the case, believe that Jake actually
killed Rosemary. Tim insists that
Kris stay at Jake's mansion and
serve as his bodyguard. She soon
discovers that she looks exactly
like Rosemary, and Jake has a
difficult time keeping in touch with
reality. Kelly and Sabrina recommend
that she get out of the house after
someone tries to shoot at her, but
Kris insists on staying. The maid
reveals that she saw Jake retrieve
his gun on the night of the murder,
after the philandering Rosemary
decided to run off with the
chauffeur. Kris accuses Tim of using
her because of her resemblance to
Rosemary. He admits that he was
hoping she could restore Jake's
memory so that he might remember the
whereabouts of Rosemary's diamond
necklace, which was never found
after her death. Tim needs the money
to pay off all of his uncle's debts
so that they won't lose the house.
Kris ignores her friends' warning
and decides to help Jake remember
what happened the night of the
murder. Jake becomes delusional and
puts together a birthday party for
Rosemary; he gives her present--the
necklace--to Kris. Bosley poses as a
syndicate representative and warns
Renaldi to stop harassing Jake.
Renaldi is found murdered shortly
thereafter. Everyone assumes that
Jake is to blame, so Kris decides to
get out of the house as quickly as
possible. Jake believes that Kris
and Tim are actually Rosemary and
the chauffeur, and goes after his
gun. He takes back the necklace, but
lets them leave without firing at
them. Kris realizes that Jake could
not have been the murderer, because
Rosemary and the chauffeur were
killed up the street. A car suddenly
blocks their path, and Sanders
emerges with a gun. He confesses
that he killed Rosemary by mistake
after Renaldi paid him $5000 for a
hit on Jake. Renaldi offered him a
substantial amount to finish the job
after Jake's release, but then tried
to back out following the visit from
Bosley. Tim knocks the gun away from
Sanders, and Kris hits him with the
wooden jewelry box. Jake thanks Kris
for her help and convinces her to
dance with him.
