Personal Synopsis
An episode that shows the galant american hero taking on the facists of an unknown random country. The premise of this episode is about an attempt to raise money for the rebels cause to buy guns and ammunition and hopefully to overthrow the facists with violence. There is a subtle correlation with the meaning of the “Four Horsemen” and the symbolic fight that is taking place in Khakania. There is a brilliant performance by Jane Merrow as Olmiras granddaughter as well.
