Personal Synopsis
A convoluted story about a man with military secrets being holed in a villa by a colonel and a group of government official and a beautiful lady. Sounds complicated because it is. I began understanding the criticism about the lack of quality writing with this episode. As I usually say, I can still enjoy this episode simply for locations and overall kitschiness.
