Mike Kovac in the eye of the storm
sol-kay8 October 2010
***SPOILERS*** Freelance photographer Mike Kovac, Charles Bronson, gets himself in big trouble in offering to show heiress to the Rojas billions Fredericka Rojas, Judith Braun, the poorer side of the Big Apple, New Yok City, which she's visiting. The fact that Fredericka is suffering from an acute glaucoma condition and is due to be operated on, by the best eye surgeons in the world, is totally unknown to Kovac in that it's been hidden from him and the public by her father multi billionaire and international industrialist as well as control freak Milo Rojas, Gregory Gaye.

It's later when Frederica gets lost after Kovac let her off at her swanky hotel in midtown that he's contacted by the police and Fredericka's doctor from her native country Dr. Kolberg, Ivan Triesault, who tells a shocked Kovack and his dad Anton, Ludwig Stossel, at who's apartment Fredericka was staying at what serious trouble she's in! It's now a matter of time before the pills that she has on her for her glaucoma runs out and Fredericka suffers a loss of sight where she could possibly end up killed in a car accident that she doesn't see coming!

Kovac in meeting Milo Rojas is in no way either impressed or intimidated by him. After all he's, Mike Kovac, really Charles Bronson the future take no BS from anybody big city vigilante in disguise! Kovac puts Mr. Rojas straight by telling him that he made his daughter a mental case!That's in him controlling Fredericka's life by trying to force her to marry this baron, in order for him to consolidate a business deal, whom she's in no way in love with! That has cause her to go off the deep end and even possibly,if he doesn't get to her in time, off the George Washington Bridge!

***SPOILERS*** In his own way Kovac tracks down Fredericka and prevents her from killing herself and at the same time enlightens her pop, Mr Rojas, to realize what a mess he made of her life by trying to run it. In the end Fredericka breaks off her marriage with the baron and goes back home a free and liberated woman to do what she wants without her nosy father's interference! As for Mike Kovac he gets to do an exclusive photo spread of Fredericka as well as gets a photo of him being kissed, at the airport, by her that he can now frame and hang up in his apartment to empress his friends with!

Lady on the Loose
Prismark1028 March 2024
A romantic interlude for Mike Kovac. It opens with a woman about to jump from the bridge before Mike intervenes.

A flashback shows that the woman is Fredericka Rojas. The overprivileged and overprotected daughter of Milo Rojas. An industrial tycoon from Europe.

Fredericka is unhappy. She has no independence, her father has fixed her up to marry some minor royal she does not love. She also has a medical condition regarding her eyes. She needs constant medication.

Mike Kovac wants to take a picture of her. She persuades him to show New York. They have a great time until a misunderstanding means they end up going on different directions.

Now realising that she is missing and needing her medication. Mike needs to find her and bring Fredericka back to her family.

This is a change of pace episode. Less regarding sinister or shady characters. Mike Kovac shows his softer side.

Romance for Chuck
lor_10 October 2023
Chuck has a whirlwind platonic romance with the daughter (Judith Braun) of a European millionaire in this offbeat episode, one where there are no fights, no action, just a drama of a sheltered girl on the loose in Manhattan.

The teaser before the opening credits gives away a crucial twist, but otherwise it's a nice, escapist story, with Chuck getting to come to the rescue in the final reel. Leading lady Judith Braun is an obscure actress who impressed me as a striking Euro beauty, but turns out to have been born and bred in New York City! IMDb erroneously has posted an identifying still and coming attraction on her page of Julie Adams (who she vaguely resembles) by mistake.
