Stingray #09/S02E01: "The Greeter" (Jan 9, 1987)

Posted the ninth episode of the TV series, Stingray, to mirror the airdate from 31 years ago on this date of Jan 9, 1987.





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

A pharmaceutical chemist hires Ray to investigate some bogus drugs. When Ray arrives at the plant, not only is the chemist missing, no one in the company admits to having known him. With the help of a local Vietnam vet, Ray gets the information he needs about what's going on.
