Somehow or other, the Germans have found the location of Stalag 13's escape tunnel. To locate the weak link in their underground security system, Hogan, LeBeau, and Newkirk must break out of camp -- and then back into camp -- without arousing Klink's suspicions. Susanne Cramer appears as Eva. Scripted by David Chandler, Jack H. Robinson, and Laurence Marks from a story by Chandler and Robinson, "The Flame Grows Higher" first aired on April 22, 1966. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Singer Hoyt Axton made his dramatic debut in this episode of Bonanza, which first aired April 4, 1965. Axton is cast as drifter Howard Mead, whose singing skills are matched only by his predilection for running afoul of the law. While trying to straigthen Mead out, Adam Cartwright is forced to defend his new friend against a robbery charge. But Adam's troubles are only beginning: Mead has fallen in love with Hilda Brunners (Susanne Cramer), the sister of the man (Steve Ihnat) Mead is accused of robbing. Written by Paul Schneider, "Dead and Gone" was the last Bonanza episode in which Pernell Roberts appeared, though not the last one to be telecast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This family comedy stars James Stewart as Dr. Robert Leaf, a college professor who dislikes science and tries to instill in his children a love of art and music. So Robert and his wife Vina (Glynis Johns) are dismayed to discover that their eight-year-old son Erasmus (Billy Mumy) is tone-deaf and color-blind; what's worse, he has a genius-level talent for mathematics. Robert isn't sure what to do about Erasmus, but while his older sister Pandora (Cindy Carol) puts his skills to work by getting him to do her homework, his older friend Kenneth (Fabian) has a better idea. Kenneth and Erasmus come up with a foolproof plan for picking the winners in horse racing -- so foolproof that it draws the attention of two con men, Upjohn (John Williams) and Argyle (Jesse White), who want to use Erasmus's skills to clean up at the track. Robert at first refuses, and then relents only when they agree to use a cut of the proceeds to endow a humanities scholarship, though Robert is about the only one surprised when the men prove not to be good to their word. Meanwhile, Erasmus is head over heels in love with French screen siren Brigitte Bardot -- so much so that he's been writing her love letters. In return, the lucky boy has received an invitation to come meet her, and Robert and Erasmus use some of their racetrack winnings to fly to Paris and take her up on her offer. Nunnally Johnson, who received no credit, contributed to the screenplay; Miss Bardot, of course, plays herself (who else could?). ~ Mark Deming, 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
