Challenges abound for worldwide crime-fighting team The Protectors. Organised into a global secret society, their mission is to protect the innocent and apprehend the guilty. Starring Emmy winner Robert Vaughn "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.".

The Protectors were Harry Rule, the Contessa di Contini, and Paul Buchet, three freelance troubleshooters who ran an international crimefighting agency. Based in London, Harry was the leader of the group. The Contessa lived in Italy; when she wasn't working with Harry, she ran her own detective agency that specialized in exposing art fraud and recovering stolen art. Paul Buchet worked out of Paris, and was the group's researcher and gadget specialist. Their adventures ranged from simple kidnapping to convoluted cases of international intrigue.—Marg Baskin <[email protected]>
