Three young female entertainers on their way to a gig in Las Vegas are stranded in the desert when their car breaks down. A stranger named Andre (Andrew Prine) discovers them on the side of the road and offers assistance, which the girls accept, blinded by his good looks and stylish sheepskin jacket. Unfortunately, they soon learn that Andre is a maniac who keeps a menagerie of half-mad, malnourished women chained in his barn and they are to be the newest additions to his horrible collection. Not only that, but the farm sits in an area that once was used for hydrogen bomb testing, and Andre's father has mutated into a deformed, bloodthirsty monster that must be kept locked in a shed. Coincidentally, one of the girls (Manuella Thiess) bears a striking resemblance to Andre's long-lost mother, and when his twisted mind decides they are one and the same, the girl plays along, hoping to buy time. Meanwhile, an agent (Chuck Niles) who represents the missing entertainers has been hounding the Nevada police to find them. They finally track the girls to the correct location, but Andre's father has gotten loose and the grotesque creature is preparing to wreck bloody havoc upon the helpless chained women. ~ Fred Beldin, All Movie Guide

Cissy (Kathy Garver) goes to work as a hospital volunteer, while Buffy (Anissa Jones) joins the Brownies.

The title of this Monkees episode is "The Chaperone," though it could easily have been christened "Charlie's Aunt, 1966." Davy falls in love with Leslie Vandenberg (Sherry Alberoni), the debutante daughter of a retired general (Arch Johnson). Alas, Davy will not be able to escort Leslie to a party unless he finds a suitable female chaperone. Obligingly, Micky dresses up as a middle-aged lady -- only to have General Vandenburg fall head over heels in love with him! Songs: "Take a Giant Step" and "You May Just Be the One". Written by Gerald Gardner and Dee Caruso, "The Chaperone" originally aired on November 7, 1966. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on real incidents in the life and death of Lt. Joseph Petrosino (Ernest Borgnine) of the New York police force, this tale set between 1906-1909 details the history of the lieutenant's fight to prove Sicilian Mafia involvement in crimes in his city. Lt. Petrosino has a series of dangerous close calls as he distinguishes himself by saving singer Enrico Caruso from a Mafia bomb outside the Metropolitan Opera, and by also saving the father of Adelina (Zohra Lampert) the woman he loves. Several other exploits eventually lead to Petrosino's trip to Sicily to nail evidence for the Mafia's activities in New York, and for a final meeting with destiny. This represented the last screen credit of scenarist Bertram Millhauser, who died in 1958; he had received his penultimate credit nine years before that, on the 1949 Tokyo Joe. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
