Dempsey and Makepeace: Plot Summary I
(from The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network
and Cable TV Shows by Tim Brooks and Earl Marsh)
Produced in England, Dempsey and Makepeace chronicled the exploits of two members of SI-10, a special undercover group working out of London's Scotland Yard. Jim Dempsey was a New York City cop who had discovered corruption in the New York City police force and had been sent to England for his own protection. He was brash, impetuous, occasionally obnoxious, and much quicker to use his gun than the British. His reluctant partner was Lady Harriet Makepeace, a member of royalty who, for reasons never clearly explained on the show, had decided to make a career out of police work. Her connections with those in high places often proved handy when they were looking for information or assistance on various cases. Although a grudging mutual respect developed between them, and there was a certain sexual tension, a social relationship never materialized. Spikings was the blustery head of SI-10 and Chas was one of the other members of the team.
Dempsey and Makepeace: Plot Summary II
(from the cover of the Armed and Extremely Dangerous
video)
Jim Dempsey was one of New Yorks finest. A cop who was tough, who was street wise, a man who couldn't be bought. But when a corruption scandal hit the force Dempsey found himself out on a limb. That's how he found himself in England. Waiting for things to cool down. And fighting big time with the beautiful Harriet Makepeace, Cambridge graduate daughter of an English lord and chasing a high-flying career at Scotland Yard. Dempsey and Makepeace - an unlikely duo but dynamite when it comes to explosive action and a love hate relationship of epic proportions. Holding them together is their boss Gordon Spikings. And Spikings, irascible head of S.I. 10, is not a man to trifle with.
Dempsey and Makepeace: Plot Summary III
(by Marg Baskin)
James Dempsey was a tough New York cop who got himself into a lot of trouble by killing his partner during a corruption investigation. With things too hot for him in New York, Dempsey was seconded to London's elite SI10, where he was assigned to work with Detective Sergeant Harriet Makepeace, under the supervision of Chief Superintendent Spikings. Dempsey found British police methods slow and infuriating, and his new colleagues considered him a violent maverick, entirely too attached to his .357 Magnum. The immediate antagonism between Dempsey and Makepeace was countered by a strong physical attraction, and while they fought continuously, they made a good, effective team.
Dempsey and Makepeace: Plot Summary IV
(by Tony Cianfaglione)
Jim Dempsey, a New York City Police Lieutenant who discovered corruption within his own department, was sent to England for his own protection. Teamed up with Lady Harriet Makepeace, Dempsey was her exact opposite, being much more driven and quicker to use violence. Spikings was their superior at SI-10, the unit where the duo was stationed. Together, they made an excellent team, each possessing special abilities to catch the criminals and in the process, learning a little more about each other's customs and investigative styles.
