14. Never Trust A Ghost.
Marty leads Jeff astray as he gets Jeff to tell the police of a murder. Unfortunately the murder victim isn't dead, a mistake by Marty. This happens a few times involving the same guy, Howarth, and when Jeff discovers Howarth is the guy in charge of the payroll at MI6 then the case takes on a different look.
Is Howarth really dead or not, is it an imposter in his place. With Howarth fed up with Jeff's continual harassment the police are called and in a great scene Jeff uses Jeannie as an alibi , by getting into bed with her as the police come calling. Marty though accompanies the police and sees Jeff with his widowed wife and goes spare.

An Irish friend of Jeff , O' Malley, has an idea for a victimless robbery and hopes Jeff will be interested.

Jeff refuses but stupidly goes along on the night O'Malley is doing the robbery, and is dropped in it by someone spotting his car parked nearby. Jeff 's lawyer has a tough task to prove his innocence particularly as O'Malley says he bottled out of it. Someone though has the money and further drops Jeff in trouble by planting a few thousand pounds under the floorboards of his office. Jeff has a like/dislike relationship with Inspector Large who appears in 5 episodes, and Large thinks he finally has evidence to put Jeff out of business.

19. Just For The Record.
Jeff and Jeannie are hired by the Cities Of The World Beauty Contest to chaperon a couple of contestants. Jeannie chaperones Miss London who wants to visit the records archive of the British Museum to look at ancient documents, to give the trailing press pack an impression that Miss London is an intellectual, good publicity for her ahead of the contest. But in reality she is working for a crook called Pargiter who thinks the documents will prove he is the rightful heir to the British crown. Marty sees her casually cut a wire with the arm of her spectacles, which have a sharpened edge, cutting the alarm system ready for a robbery of said documents. Jeff seems more interested in having a good time chaperoning Miss Moscow around town.
