Synopsis
This popular 80's show was created by author Sidney Sheldon and was initially called Double Twist, but was renamed Hart to Hart after a revamp of the script.
Jonathan Hart is a self-made millionaire - the CEO of Hart Industries, a global conglomerate. His gorgeous wife Jennifer is a freelance journalist.
They are also both amateur sleuths, and in each episode they find themselves up to their eyeballs in murder, smuggling, theft and international espionage.
They also manage to find time to snuggle together, as they love each other very much.
Max is their loyal, butler, cook and chauffeur. Freeway is their adorable pet canine, named so because he was a stray they had rescued when he was found wandering on the freeway.
