1972’s Probe was the pilot movie for NBC’s science fiction private-investigator series Search. It was created and written by Leslie Stevens and directed by Russ Mayberry. The cast included Hugh O’Brian, Burgess Meredith, Elke Sommer, John Gielgud, and others (mentioned later).

The diamonds of the Entourage Collection were among the treasures looted by Herman Goering. While other looted treasures were recovered, the Entourage Collection was not. Legal (rather than actual) ownership passed through several hands before South Africa’s1 Johannes Consolidated Diamond Exchange acquired ownership. The exchange understandably wants physical possession to go with their legal title. Therefore, World Security Corporation field agent Hugh Lockwood (Hugh O’Brian) must find the diamonds.

Tough job! But Lockwood won’t be working alone.
