The first season was filmed in black and white with the remainder shot in colour. Robert Vaughn plays agent Napoleon Solo while David McCallum plays Illya Kuryakin. Leo G Carroll plays Mister Waverly, the boss of the secret agency known as U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law & Enforcement) Their main enemy is THRUSH, an organization out to take over the planet.
In this one, UNCLE agents Vaughn and McCallum are assigned to protect the young leader of a far eastern country. The boy, Michel Petit, is in the U.S. for some minor surgery. THRUSH types want to kill the lad so as to destabilize his country for a takeover.
Petit and his nurse, Susan Seaforth Hayes, are kidnapped by a bunch of THRUSH types led by Malachi Thorne. Thorne also happens to be Petit's official bodyguard. UNCLE tumbles to the double dealing Thorne and slap him in a cell. They later let Thorne escape hoping he will lead UNCLE to where Petit, Miss Hayes and Agent McCallum are being held.
The plan goes off with a few minor hic-ups, but everyone is rescued in the end. The THRUSH types are all captured or killed.
Hiding behind a beard in this episode, is guest star, Don Harron. Harron some will recall as series regular, "Charlie Farquharson" in the long running, HEE-HAW comedy series.
An enjoyable romp.
