Opening Narrative
“This is my boss: Jonathan Hart, a self-made millionaire.
He’s quite a guy. This is Mrs. H — she’s gorgeous.
She’s one lady who knows how to take care of herself.
By the way, my name is Max.
I take care of both of them — which ain’t easy; ‘cause when they met, it was murder.”

STORYLINE
Like Max says during the opening credits, Jonathan Hart (Robert Wagner) was a millionaire who liked to solve crimes. His beautiful wife Jennifer (Stefanie Powers) who was a freelance journalist, also enjoys a good mystery. Living the jet set lifestyle, the glamorous couple spent their free time as amateur detectives and they usually found themselves involved in cases of smuggling, theft, international intrigue, or murder.
Max (Lionel Stander) is their chauffeur who also acts as their butler and chef. He gets involved in the crime fighting as well but only after objecting strenuously.
Robert Wagner had worked with both Powers and Stander previously in separate episodes of “It Takes a Thief“, Wagner’s former series, and the chemistry between the three was excellent.

TRIVIA: The Hart’s’ had a dog which they found roaming the highway one day so they named it Freeway. In real life Freeway’s name was Charlie Gray and he was a Lowchen breed. He was rescued from a shelter and became a favorite of Stefanie Powers on the set. When the 1993-’96 made-for-tv movies were made “Freeway” was too old for the part but one of his offspring, “Junior” was just perfect for the role. |
