What happens

Dead on Target (also titled Our Man Flint: Dead on Target) is an American action drama television film. The film originally aired on ABC on March 17, 1976, and was shot in Vancouver. The film was a backdoor pilot for a possible weekly series, but it was not picked up to series, and it became the last Derek Flint film. Ray Danton replaces James Coburn as Derek Flint, who is now a private detective and former Z.O.W.I.E. government agent. The cast also includes Sharon Acker, Susan Jane Sullivan, Lawrence Dane, Gay Rowan, Linda Woods, Donnelly Rhodes, and Kim Cattrall. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
