Elvis Presley plays Guy Lambert, a musician (so far, so good) who is touring Great Britain (something Elvis never managed in real life). Jill Conway (Annette Day), a wealthy heiress, is a big fan of Guy's who has developed a very serious crush on him; her family wants to keep her away from the romantically-inclined singer, so they send her to Belgium, not realizing that Guy has a string of gigs set up there. En route to Brussels, a pair of hapless jewel thieves (Norman Rossington and Chips Rafferty) hide their loot in Guy's luggage, which makes the singer the unwitting target of three equally inept detectives (Harry, Herbert, and Sylvester Wiere). While wooing Jill and avoiding her treacherous uncle Gerald (John Williams), Guy also finds himself pursued by the worldly Claire Dunham (Yvonne Romain). Elvis sings nine songs along the way, including "Long Legged Girls with Short Dresses On" and "Baby, if You Give Me All Your Love." 18 months after Double Trouble was released, Presley's career was revitalized by his 1968 comeback special, though he would also release four more films before it aired. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Inevitably, the prisoners devise a plan to have one of their number escape and get word to their comrades. Chosen for the assignment is Hanley, who is given a phony Albanian uniform in order to pass through the German lines unnoticed--but will he be able to keep up the charade for the remainder of the episode? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Middle Eastern country has acquired a mysterious ray weapon that successfully knocks down an American spy plane. Seaview is ordered to investigate, and Crane must make contact with the country's political underground. But the country's leader, General Gamal (Malachi Throne), is more devious and dangerous than his opponents guess -- Crane ends up being captured and used as bait for the Seaview, when the same weapon threatens to disable and crush the submarine. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

In a depature from the usual Perry Mason format, Perry (Raymond Burr) flies to Europe as a personal favor to his old friend Frederic Ralston II. Arriving in Switzerland, Perry is asked to check up on Greta Konig (Susanne Cramer), the German nightclub singer who wants to marry Ralston's son Freddy (Fred Vincent), a lieutenant in the Army Engineer Corps. Instead, the lawyer ends up investigating two mysterious deaths, both linked to a treasure hidden by Nazis at the bottom of a Swiss lake during WW2. Future Hogan's Heroes costar Werner Klemperer appears as the local detective on the case, while Jim Davis, aka "Jock Ewing" on Dallas, is one of the victims. Inasmuch as Perry is literally "flying solo" in this episode, neither Della Street (Barbara Hale) nor Paul Drake (William Hopper) appear. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The men of King Company are anxious to leave the small French village where they've been billetted. One look at the local female population, however, and the guys immediately change their minds.
