Danger Man episode It’s Up to the Lady (1965) was originally entitled ‘The Defector’. Charles, a British civil servant, defects and John Drake follows his wife Paula as she travels to be with him. Drake then tries to get Paula to persuade Charles to go back to England. Paula is played by Sylvia Syms.
