Synopsis
Following up on a rash of arson cases, Steed arranges for Dr Keel's assistant Carol to have some time off for a hairdressing appointment. Although Carol is only at the salon to do a little snooping, she is nearly killed when the hair drier she is using blows up. It was intended for the hairdresser's assistant and serves as proof that the salon's owners are involved with a know arsonist in a plan to destroy the nearly bankrupt salon so as to collect the insurance.
