Not much intrigue in this. A character from "The Last Kamikaze" appears here, as a guest. Kuroda, once a stranded Japanese soldier thinking it was still World War 2, recruits Steve to go on a mission to find the "wolf boy"-- a white American teen boy who is the son of an American diplomat who was lost in an airplane accident 10 years ago. Turns out the boy has been living under feral circumstances, and was somehow adopted by a pack of wolves.
In the "Last Kamikaze" episode, Kuroda was quite convinced that the Japanese war with the Allied powers was still going on. Deeply humbled by his encounter with Steve Austin, he has returned to the Japanese mainland to become a shoe salesman. He is quite convinced that any debt has to be for a lifetime.
There is a "jungle book" context to this episode, of course. Aside from catching the teen, who at this point has seemingly completely forgotten his human life-- Steve and Kuroda have to worry about animal traps and other hazards.
The episode has a sentimental bent, and there are no real villains in this episode.
The episode was not likely filmed in Japan but rather an American forest park.
It's okay, overall, but nothing special in the SMDM canon.
