The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
S02E01 The Alexander the Greater Affair (1)
Episode Overview
Alexander, a power-hungry industrialist, aspires to dominate the world like his namesake, Alexander the Great, by violating each of the ten commandments. To aid his quest, he instructs his henchman Parvix to steal the army's "will gas." Meanwhile, Solo begins his investigation and meets Tracey Alexander, Alexander's ex-wife, who insists on joining him to recover the money her former husband owes her. Their pursuit leads them to an extravagant party hosted by Alexander, where Solo outsmarts him in a game of human chess. The adventure takes a dark turn in a tomb, where Alexander and his assistant Dr. Kavon leave Solo bound beneath a descending scimitar, while Illya and Tracey dangle precariously over a bottomless pit with a burning candle threatening their rope. Ultimately, they find themselves at Alexander's Virginia farm, where Illya narrowly escapes being sliced by various farm equipment.
