Stingray #08/S01E08: "That Terrible Swift Sword" (May 13, 1986)

Posted this episode to mirror the airdate from 31 years ago on this date of May 13, 1986 ... the first episode of the new TV series, Stingray, aired.





Series Background

"Ray" is a shadowy character with a mysterious 'secret agent' past. People in trouble often come to him for help, since he has a lot of important and powerful contacts. He refuses to be paid for his services; however, those seeking his assistance must promise him a favor. Some time in the future, Ray will come to them and ask to collect on that favor, giving them some task that is often arduous and/or dangerous. The title of the show comes from the vintage Corvette Stingray that Ray drives.

"Stingray" attracted his clients by advertising a black 1965 Chevrolet Corvette "for barter only".

"Stingray's" real name and actual occupation are never revealed in any of the installments; throughout the series, any attempt any other character makes, in any installment, to track down his identity inevitably and invariably leads in the wrong direction and/or to a dead end.


Enjoy!



Episode Synopsis

Ray is hired by Sister Allison of a traveling religious show to find a serial killer murdering prostitutes in the cities that the show stops at. Ray goes undercover as a preacher to find the culprit, but when he does it seems to profoundly affect him.
