A stamp collector is murdered after he discovers an extremely rare penny stamp being offered for sale on the open market. Cathy takes a job in the stamp collectors store to gather more information, but is unable to prevent a murder in an auction room.
A European murder leads John Steed to a stamp collection shop in London. Unfortunately for the shop's dealer, Mr. Peckham (Harry Shacklock), Steed doesn't come soon enough. Mr. Peckham discovers information of a rare find, The Mauritius Penny, in an estate auction. As he markets the find to a loyal customer, Mr. Peckham is killed by a radical. It seems the information he found was a cover for a sinister plot that not even Steed and his agency could dream about. Still following the MacGuffin, though, Steed enlists stamp enthusiast Mrs. Cathy (in this script she's is referred to as Catherine) Gale's help.

This was the first The Avengers script for both Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke, two very acclaimed science fiction writers. (Most of their work was with Dr. Who.) There is no science involved, though. This is a thriller, where the two protagonists are spies – so it's not even spy-fi. More importantly, this is a great story. It's hard not to believe that several elements of this teleplay weren't "borrowed" later on for several hit thrillers including "Marathon Man". (Google "Nazi Dentist" and see what pops up. Toss that movie into your DVD and tell me those scenes – filmed twelve years apart aren't similar.)

The Mauritius Penny interweaves several thriller elements to keep the audience on their toes. There is the MacGuffin chase for the famed collectible. (Certainly, if Mr. Peckham had survived he would swear that having that stamp was to die for.) None of the authorities are trustworthy: You have crooked police; and even Steed has to be watched. (He wiretaps Mr. Peckham for no good reason.) There is the creepy, skin crawling dentist scene. The gruesome scene where Catherine finds the dead Mr. Peckham was a The Avengers staple. (Rarely did Steed find the dead bodies. It was usually Dr. Keel, Mrs. Gale or Mrs. Peel. Off-hand I can't remember if Venus Smith found one. I don't believe she did.) There is a staged killing at an event. And many cases of fist-ti-cuffs, including Cathy Gale knocking out a henchman (Alfred Burke) in hand- to-hand combat – the first time a woman had did that in Western cinema or television.

Although I rarely bring this up, most of the problems with this episode deal with the budget, and, therefore, the production values. The depth of field is very limited, possibly from the low light levels and poor cameras. Several times, I had to rewind in order to get a closer look at some of the sets – all which were important elements to the story. I also believe that it would have been better to have the villain more involved in the plot earlier. Dicks and Hulke decided to unveil the antagonist. Among the best of Cathy Gale, "The Mauritius Penny" paired Honor Blackman and Richard Vernon two years before they both appeared in "Goldfinger." The title refers to a rare stamp, only two in existence, whose sudden unauthorized appearance leads to a rash of murders perpetrated by a Nazi-type organization targeting not just England, but all the capital cities in Western Europe. The Avengers find themselves surrounded by a multitude of villains, led by Alfred Burke (from "Dragonsfield" and "The Girl from Auntie"), the first assassin knocked out by a judo blow from Cathy Gale, and Sylva Langova (also from "Dragonsfield"), as a less-than-trustworthy dentist (no Novocaine!). Other series veterans included Anthony Blackshaw (previously seen in "The Sell-Out"), David Langton ("November Five" and "The 50,000 Breakfast"), Harry Shacklock ("A Change of Bait," "Man-Eater of Surrey Green," and "Thingumajig"), Edward Higgins ("The Forget-Me-Not"), and Edwin Brown ("The Nutshell"). This was the second appearance of Steed's Dalmatian Freckles, left unharmed when her master gets knocked unconscious by intruders posing as police investigators.
