In the first episode of a three-part story, Bill takes Mr. French (Sebastian Cabot) and the kids along on a business trip to Spain. Enchanted by the country and its people, both Bill and Cissy find romance, in the respective forms of a girl named Ana (Anna Navarro) and a boy named Ricardo (John Aladdin). Conversely, while taking a bus tour, poor Mr. French loses something--namely, Buffy (Anissa Jones) and Jody (Johnnie Whitaker). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the second episode of a three part story, the family is still in Spain, where Bill (Brian Keith) has fallen for attractive senorita Ana (Anna Navarro) and Cissy (Kathy Garver) has been swept off her feet by a lad named Ricardo (John Aladdin). Meanwhile, Mr. French (Sebastian Cabot) conducts a frantic search for Buffy (Annisa Jones) and Jody (Johnnie Whitaker), who have somehow gotten on the wrong bus during a sightseeing tour. After an encounter with a nun and some Spanish schoolchildren, and a spooky experience in an empty church, the worn-out twins seek refuge in an old barn, hoping against hope that somewhere, somehow, they'll come across someone who speaks English! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of a three-part story, Buffy (Anissa Jones) and Jody (Johnnie Whitaker) have managed to get lost while on a sightseeing tour of Spain. As Bill (Brian Keith) Cissy (Kathy Garver), Mr. French (Sebastian Cabot) and several members of the local Civil Guard conduct a frantic search, the twins are given shelter by a kindly peasant couple named Carlos (Nacho Galindo) and Maria (Rosa Turich), who are worried that they'll be arrested should they reveal the kids' whereabouts. With all this going on, there's hardly time for the romance between Bill and Ana (Anna Navarro, to say nothing of the one between Cissy and Ricardo (John Aladdin). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Bringing Buffy (Anissa Jones) along on a business trip to Puerto Rico, Bill promises to spend all his free time with his niece. Of course, this puts a crimp on his social life in general and his romance with former flame Gail (Sue Casey) in particular, but Bill is doggedly determined to keep his word. It is up to Buffy to figure out that Bill is having a miserable time, and to do something about it. Gregg Fedderson, soon to join the cast in the recurring role of Cissy's boyfriend Gregg Bartlett, appears in this episode as "Marvin". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
- 1968
Ironside (Raymond Burr) comes to the aid of his old friend and comrade-in-arms Al Cervantes (Ricardo Montalban), a Mexican-American police detective accused of murdering an abortionist (which in 1968 was an illegal profession). Although the evidence against Cervantes seems overwhelming, Ironside suspects that the man is being framed. Other key players in this tense drama are crooked lawyer F.A. Hobarth (Robert Alda), shady boxer Valdez (Rafael Campos) and conspicuously missing B-girl Rita (Poupee Boucar). Future Marcus Welby MD costar Elena Verdugo appears as Cervantes' wife. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
