SYNOPSIS

Honey West was a true rarity in 1965, female private detective. She had inherited the family detective business and partner Sam Bolt from her late father, and she made quite a fetching female James Bond.

Honey was skilled in judo, proficient at karate, owned a weapons arsenal full of the most amazing devices, and used a specially modified lipstick that contained a radio transmitter.

Her traveling office was a specially equipped spy van labeled "H.W. Bolt & Co., TV Service." She had everything necessary to track down the bad guys – even a trench coat. The love of her life was her pet Ocelot, Bruce, much to the consternation of partner Sam, who would willingly have married her.

Honey West was introduced to TV audiences in an April 1965 episode of Burke's Law, in which the sexy sleuth outwitted even that dapper investigator.
