North Sea Hijack

Eccentric and cat-loving Counter-terrorism consultant Rufus Excalibur ffolkes (Roger Moore) is asked by Lloyd's of London to develop a contingency plan should any of the North Sea oil installations they insure be threatened. Months later, a North Sea supply ship named ''Esther'' takes on board a group of men posing as reporters who are to visit the oil production platform ''Jennifer''. The leader of this group, Lou Kramer (Anthony Perkins), hijacks the ship; the gangsters attach limpet mines to the legs of ''Jennifer'' and its accompanying oil drilling rig, ''Ruth'', then issue a ransom demand for Pound sterling25 million to the Government of the United Kingdom.''Esther'''s crew tries to fight back, but is thwarted by Kramer's vigilance, and two of their number end up dead.
