This is a landmark episode in the genre-bending TV series that crossed Old West action with James Bond espionage. Secret service agent James West (Robert Conrad) meets his elusive nemesis, the diabolical and diminutive Dr. Miguelito Loveless (Michael Dunn), who has invented a powerful explosive "that can bring the nation to its knees." He does not trust his invention to the government, which wants it for "peaceful purposes." "An explosion like that in the hands of politicians and generals?" he not unreasonably asks. "What kind of peace can you expect from the likes of them? They're vermin." Loveless is a great character: urbane, witty, and brilliant. Among his inventions that give West and his partner, Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin), a good chuckle are nascent versions of radio, television, and penicillin. He steals the show. Also a hoot is West's custom-equipped stagecoach, which like 007's Astin Martin comes complete with an ejector seat. As in every episode, West is irresistible to women, prompting one curious exchange. "Why don't you find me amusing?" a frontier babe asks. "Because you're 80 percent water," West replies. I don't quite get that, but at my first chance I'm working it into a conversation. --Donald Liebenson We are happy to combine shipping in the USA. Please ask any questions prior to purchasing.
