He is likewise gobbled up and thrown into the dungeon with pal, McCallum. Sanders' wants Vaughn to call their boss, Leo G. Carroll. Sanders' intends to kill Carroll to complete his revenge.
Joining Sanders in his plot is wife, Jeanette Nolan. The scene stealing Nolan is a blast as she takes charge of the torture etc. Bonnie Franklin, in an early role, plays Nolan's maid. Franklin tries to help the boys out but soon joins them as torture fodder.
The crew manage to pull an escape, then head off through a maze full of hidden traps and wild wolfs. Through various feats of daring etc, they finally turn the tables on Sanders and Nolan.
This is a real enjoyable episode that ranks right up there with, "The Never-Never Affair". Both were written by the same man, Dean Hargrove. The pace moves smoothly under the capable hand of actor, turned director, Alf Kjellin.
