An episode with some first-rate ideas, a criminal organization that behaves like religious leaders, traveling in the guise of clergymen, but even among themselves are calling each other reverend, bishop and the like. The head of the organization is very sick and is looking for his successor. Elements of the procedure sound like choosing a new pope. Steed steps in under cover (Johnny the Horse) to find out what they are up to. The scenes with the other hoodlums are very entertaining. Lois Maxwell is remarkable as a machine-gun swinging nurse and Mrs. Gale shows bit of judo and gets her only kiss from Steed. A sidetrack with a puppets repair shop fits very well in this over-the-top story. Of course, as usual, we hear more than we see. Watching these early episodes is sometimes like reading a book: you need your imagination a lot.
