Lynda Day George guest stars as Dora Burnham, a Southern belle with a weak heart, kidnapped en route to see her doctor, by Clifford Tait (Warren Vanders), a former Confederate officer who demands that she write a ransom note to her wealthy father. In stubbornly refusing, she is imprisoned in a wide pit with Caine, shocked that the kidnappers were aided by her black maid, Jenny (Judy Pace), who resents being treated as a servant all her life, prompting Caine to flash back to how Master Kan (Philip Ahn) taught him that there need not be shame in serving and being served. Dora learns this lesson by helping Caine survive a fever brought on by his gunshot wound. The desperate Tait winds up brandishing a sword against the unarmed Caine, wielding only a large stick in self defense. David Carradine had, by this time, become so enmeshed in his role that he proved to be even more convincing in his fight scenes, and this episode features one of the best. Warren Vanders had previously appeared in episode 11 "Chains." Judy Pace was a busy presence on television, revered as one of the most beautiful actresses of her time (I do recall her playing a supermodel in 1972's "Frogs").

Why are there so many inconsistencies in the show
ginasanacore16 February 2021
I love Kung Fu I remember watching it as a teenager but never really paid attention to where he was traveling. I could tell and many of the episodes for the names of the town that he was traveling in New Mexico so why in one of the episode is there a beach scene? I told myself maybe you was in California that day but no it was supposed to be New Mexico. And now is a woman from Virginia traveling to New Orleans and he's involved with her how she end up in New Mexico or how did he end up over in the Deep South when the week before he was in New Mexico
