They were smooth, luscious, athletic, and deadly. They could go undercover in all the chi-chi watering holes, razzle-dazzle the bad guys with nothing more than pepsodent smiles and flip 'pardon my fist' lines, jump motorcycles over aqueducts without mussing the hairdo, and swing from flying trapezes...

From roller-derby to the big top to pro sports cheering squads, no murder scene was too mundane for Sabrina Duncan (Kate Jackson), Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith), Jill Munroe (Farrah Fawcett), and Kris Munroe (Cheryl Ladd) to infiltrate.
