THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. – The Yo Ho-Ho and a bottle of rum Affair -1967
This is the 78th episode of 1964 to 1968 spy series, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. The series ran for a total of 105 episodes. 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) UNCLE's main enemy is THRUSH, an organization out to take over the planet.
This sad excuse of an episode, has UNCLE agent David McCallum as a stowaway on a freighter carrying some THRUSH equipment out to a secret base in the South Pacific. THRUSH has built themselves a device to cause massive tidal waves. They demand 10 Billion from the UN or they will destroy cities along various coastlines.
While McCallum is on board the ship. Agent Vaughn is romancing an UNCLE boss, Peggy Taylor, on the actual location of the secret base. With a few drinks and some lip-locks Vaughn hopes to come up with the needed info.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, er, the ship, McCallum is being questioned by the drunk, Dan o'Herlihy, who is the ship's captain. O'Herlihy is an ex-Royal Navy man who had been cashiered for stealing the crew's rum ration. Also on board is THRUSH boss, Kevin Hagen and several gunmen. They are escorting the device to the secret base.
McCallum ends up leading a mutiny against the THRUSH types. At the same time, Vaughn is on a plane that crashes just off the ship. The THRUSH types are of course defeated and the world saved from tidal waves.
This one is just as silly as it sounds. The writers should have been tied to stakes at low tide. This season also features some of the worst music of the run. It is just plain bad, boring stuff all the way down the line.
