Our man Steve is very much in secret agent mode here, and the plot is similar to many spy movies. It's an enjoyable episode, and I think it shows one of the most appealing qualities of this series: it wasn't a cop or detective show, of which there were so very many in the 1970's.
This series is really different. Steve is basically a secret agent who happens to have some super powers due to his bionic enhancements.
Arlene Martel is a beautiful member of the cast, and she has a good part. Steve Forrest is also very good as the bad guy. And in a surprise bit of casting that I didn't realize until I read the credits, none other than Tom Hayden--yes, that Tom Hayden, former husband of Jane Fonda--plays a submarine crewman! I didn't recognize him, but then, I wasn't expecting him to pop up in this series!
