Masquerade

In the 90‑minute special premiere, Oliver Reed plays a KGB hitman known as "Wolfen," who has been eliminating the NIA's best operatives. With the KGB appearing to know every detail about the agency's personnel, Lavender assembles a group of ordinary civilians to undermine Wolfen's credibility. Set in Paris, the episode also includes appearances by Cybill Shepherd, Richard Roundtree, and Ernest Borgnine—who portrays a plumber that rigs a shower to drench Wolfen in gin.

Set in Amsterdam, the episode centers on villains attempting to sell code frequencies in exchange for $1 million worth of diamonds. Worried that the East Germans might acquire the frequencies and disrupt NATO defenses, Operation Masquerade moves to sabotage the transaction. A dog trainer tames a pair of vicious Dobermans while the NIA's "agents" execute their scheme.

NIA chief Lavender journeys to Hawaii with a civilian team chosen for everyday skills as well as proficiency in karate to rescue a U.S. Senator's teenage daughter from intelligence-seeking white slavers, on the ABC Television Network's "Masquerade." In "Girls For Sale," Lavender, Casey and Danny recruit as their team: baseball star Steve Garvey, elderly Mrs. Parker, a Garvey fan with a terrible driving record; three beauty contestants; the Banacheks, a father-and-son team of window washers; and a Sushi, a chef.

The recruits board a cruise ship in pursuit of an NIA traitor (William Smith) and his mercenaries, who were hired by a deposed Caribbean leader (Rene Enriquez) to carry out a coup to return him to power.

Lavender and team plant Casey as an inmate in a Portuguese prison to rescue an agent with important information that could help locate a disabled American sub.
