1975 ABC. "Double Jeopardy." Spy Matt Helm gets into the private detective game on TV. With Anthony Franciosa, Gene Evans, Laraine Stephens, Jeff Donnell. Guest stars in this ep. are Pippa Scott, Clifford David, Sherry Jackson, Don Gordon, Eddie Barth. Has a pretty sweet 70s intro. Link below.

Helm is checking out the alibi of murder suspect Ed Glenn (Clifford David), who at first looks innocent, but after marrying the victim's sister, he starts to have some questions. Helm's suspicions deepen after someone tries to kill Ed and he finds out he has also lost a bundle to bookie Eddie Barth. 

I watched a couple of episodes of Matt Helm last year on Youtube that got deleted. Solid show. The production values and action scenes are all first class but they only made thirteen episodes.
