The first season was filmed in black and white with the remainder shot in colour. Robert Vaughn plays agent Napoleon Solo while David McCallum plays Illya Kuryakin. Leo G Carroll plays Mister Waverly, the boss of the secret agency known as U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law & Enforcement) Their main enemy is THRUSH, an organization out to take over the planet.
UNCLE agent Robert Vaughn is sent to India to discover what has happened to a top secret device. The device had been stolen by THRUSH, but retrieved before THRUSH could study the thing. Then the device had been sent back to the States with an UNCLE courier. The courier and the device went down in a plane crash. Vaughn poses as an insurance man to try and find the missing gadget in the wreckage.
Pulling the same insurance man cover story, is, THRUSH agent, Linden Chiles. He is also looking for the device. Getting mixed into the search is stewardess, Kamala Devi, her father, Murray Matheson, the local Police inspector, David Sheiner and Neile Adams.
While Chiles and Vaughn are dancing around the fact they know they are rivals for the missing object, bodies are starting to pile up. It turns out that there is a revived Thugee cult on the loose. They are the ones who downed the plane and have the device.
Ex-Maharajah, Matheson was running low on cash and started up the cult again to help fill up his bank account. (Thugees were a cult of robber-killers in India in the 1800's) Needless to say Vaughn finally tumbles to this and aids the Police in disposing of the group. He also retrieves the device for return to UNCLE. THRUSH agent Chiles gets a nice visit to India's less than charming prison system.
Good episode with the whole cast doing top flight work. Nelie Adams was the wife of actor Steve McQueen.
