In Seasons 6 and 7, our MI team was nearly always operating against criminals in the USA; here we have a fairly rare outing for Season 3, where they are doing just that instead of wreaking havoc on secret police in Iron Curtain countries.
This is one of those episodes where a powerful performance by a guest star really stands out. Donnelly Rhodes is excellent as the bad guy, desperate to live. You feel some sympathy for him, with the dilemma he thinks he's in. I would give this episode a grade of about B+; definitely respectable in quality, if not quite an "A" outing. This isn't one of the very best episodes, but it's much, much better than some of their worst ones, which in my opinion were all in Seasons 4 and 5; especially 5.
Fans of the show will find plenty to like in this adventure of our team. Jim and Rollin have by far the most interesting team roles to play, this time.
