Great scenery - and a fun trio of villains ... wonderful Philip Ahn as Papa Charlie .... and Culp and Cosby were in perfect rhythm together by this episode!!! .... Howard University`s PBS station used this episode for all its promos during "I SPY`s" run - they used the fight scene in the alley where Kelly and Scotty finally beat-up the bad guys for a change and Scotty uses the "At no time did you ever see my fingers leave my hands" line .... and they used the scene when Kelly and Scotty are in the truck being shot at by the brothers-in-law as Kelly inquires if they "are using cannons!!" to shoot at them, and the 3rd promo was again in the truck where Kelly & Scotty are driving along discussing the possibility of taking a golden stove leg or two for their own personal gain - and the wonderful orthopedic devices their government jobs provide for them.
