**SPOILERS**My, how things have changed. We all know that, don't we? It's an interesting look back at how simple we thought things were in that time. I remember the times, and now realize how little we really comprehended about the mid-east and it's society. It now feels like we were just too stupid to keep their politics at a long arm's reach away.
Nonetheless, we have Kookie (Edd Byrnes) playing footsie with the daughter of an oil sheik while Stu, Ephraim Zimbalist, Jr. is supposed to bodyguard him. No doubt, ALL the girls (the sheik brought at least part of his harem with him), including the daughter are beautiful. One3 small point; they SHOULD have gotten a few REAL belly dancers, these girls were nice but just not trained.
The one would-be assassin (and this is the director's and screenwriter's total fault) tries to use a silenced revolver to hit the sheik from quite a distance. This is completely ridiculous, made even more so by Stu connecting up with his shot from a short barreled handgun. This is made even more incredible by the way the (great) stuntman took the death fall to a small landing spot (I mean it, if you can, watch this episode to see what these fantastic guys are capable of.
The same crew misses a chance to blast Kookie, and they had plenty of time, too; and the ending is drivel. The babes almost make up for it.
