Enigma

Pilot for a series that never developed. Scott Hylands played Andrew Icarus and Soon-Tek Oh played his partner from the People's Republic of China. They were operatives of a secret crime-fighting agency that used an international hotel chain as cover. I'm not sure if Enigma was the name of the agency, the hotel chain, or just the title of the show. Jim Davis played the megalomaniacal leader of a criminal organization called The Dragon's Teeth. It's been 25 years since I saw this movie. I think I liked it at the time. I'm not positive, but it seems to me that Sam Rolfe, who had a lot to do with the success of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., was producer and/or writer.

I have only vague recollections of this program, which I believe was an unsold TV pilot. IMDb poster Brock Stimson is correct that the show starred Scott Hylands and Soon Tek-Oh as secret agents, and it would be nice if the IMDb page for this production reflected that fact (instead of listing the first three actors in alphabetical order as the stars). I believe the name of the cover organization was the Triangle Corporation. What I remember most was the weapons the agents used, which fired electrical pulses instead of bullets, and which could put people to sleep; this may have been an effort to address the question of violence on television, which hampered a lot of adventure genre shows in the 1970s. I don't remember anything about the plot, and was only 15 years old at the time, but I recall liking it.
