The Apple a Day Affair
Robert Emhardt makes another villainous Man From U.N.C.L.E. appearance as Colonel Picks, the inventor of exploding apples which can be used to trigger atomic bombs. Following Picks into the Ozarks, U.N.C.L.E. agents Solo and Illya encounter numerous obstacles. For starters, Solo is nearly forced into a shotgun wedding with hillbilly gal Nina Lillette (Jeannine Riley), and Illya is put on a chain gang and buried alive in a cave-in. Rubber-limbed comedian Gil Lamb is seen as Nina’s pappy, Daddy Jo. Scripted by Joseph Cavella from a story by Cavella and Les Roberts, “The Apple a Day Affair” first aired on March 24, 1967., Mine cave-ins and shotgun weddings are only two of the hazards facing the agents as they seek the source of THRUSH’s explosive apples. Solo: Robert Vaughn. Colonel: Robert Emhardt. Illya: David McCallum. Nina: Jeannine Riley. Daddy Jo: Gil Lamb.
