Interesting Only For Clint Walker Fans
kgraovac8 November 2023
The bank's funding an office building project and Lucy literally falls into the arms of the hunky construction foreman (Clint Walker). When the two begin dating, she learns of his dangerous personality quirk: If awoken suddenly, his Army commando training turns him into a karate-chopping killing machine.

The episode is ill-conceived as the basis of the comedy is nothing more than Walker being uncontrollably destructive.

There is a lot of flirty humor in the opening scene, which the series did not do that often. The picnic sequence on the scaffolding has some small amusing moments. Lucy's acrophobia is well-played, but the best part is when Mooney descends on the rope to blow the lunch horn - very unexpected.

Mary Jane Croft and Mary Wickes appear as relatives with the latter stealing the scene as cranky Aunt Gussie ("Tell your best friend she's got termites").

Physically-imposing Walker receives studio applause when he enters dressed in a tuxedo.
