Most of the Emma Peel v. Other Women fights are so unfair - you've seen Emma viciously thrash so many men you don't think any Gal has a chance against The Supreme Peel... So the usual Catfight dynamics in Emma-Femme tussles are lost: there's rarely any back 'n' forth, who's-on-top, shot-for-shot, slap-for-slap, scratch-for-scratch action where it's not clear which Femme is going to win... That's usually the excitement for guys watching Gals fight - they don't care who wins, guys just like watching Girls go at it... But Emma takes all the drama out of it...
Yet this encounter holds interest in another way... At first it does seem like Pamela Ann Davy might be able to give Emma a run for her money...
As "Mandy" she teased & fooled Steed, setting him up, and now decked out in her military garb, she presents the most significant challenge to Emma's FEmale Superiority...
But Emma makes short work of Mandy, and in a delicious final touch, she applies a delicate sleeper hold...
Coolly, calmly, methodically, efficiently...
Emma eases Mandy into sleep...
Emma
Lords over her defeated Femme-foe, bemused that another WOman could even think
she could take her all-powerful Emma Peel self on...
Emma playfully pats the sleeping beauty's helmet...
And goes off to rescue Steed...
