As with many of the MI outings, the method they come up with to accomplish their goals is a bit far fetched. Of course, if you let that bother you, then you shouldn't be watching in the first place. The show is almost always interesting and entertaining. The plot moves along briskly and keeps us engaged.
The goal is to rescue a king who has been imprisoned by his brother who has assumed power in the kingdom. The method to accomplish this is to force the brother to bring the king in as he is made to believe he is in need of a kidney transplant. As the operation is going on the king and evil brother are switched. As often happens in this show, there is a head henchman who must be accounted for. In this case it is Colonel Hatafis (Joseph Ruskin). The team pulls off the switch and the colonel will face the wrath of the sheiks and the newly re-installed king.
The cast are veterans and perform well. Michele Carey is the female guest star joining the team for this mission. She is more than up for the challenge. This rotating group of women guests who are filling in for Barbara Bain have all done well. Quite frankly, it makes me wonder how Leslie Ann Warren ended up with the job. I realize she would be nominated for an Oscar for "Victor/Victoria" in the future but she is absolutely painful to watch at times on MI.
Also on hand for this outing is Lloyd Battista and Lee Bergere. Ruskin is making one of his many appearances on the show. With his physical appearance and manner, he was born to play a bad guy and did it about a million times in his long career.
This is a typical episode for this series which means it is well done and worth viewing.
