MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., THE {THE MAN FROM UNCLE}: THE SUBURBIA AFFAIR (TV)
Summary
One in this series of tongue-in-cheek spy dramas about superagent Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. In this episode, Solo and Kuryakin buy a house in a suburban development called Peaceful Haven Estates because U.N.C.L.E. believes that the Danish scientist Dr. Rutter is hiding out there. Rutter has developed a formula for antimatter, which could be used for destructive purposes if it falls into the wrong hands. THRUSH is also looking for Rutter so it can get the missing pieces to the formula and then control the world. Solo meets his neighbor, Betsy, and also the music teacher at the school, Mr. Willoughby. Meanwhile, people's nerves throughout the community are frayed and everyone is wondering why. During a meeting to address this problem, Willoughby is forced to leave because he feels ill. While Betsy is taking care of Willoughby, he admits that the police are after him and that Solo is probably one of them. Betsy goes to the pharmacy to fill a prescription -- one that Rutter has been known to need -- for Willoughby but tells the pharmacist, a THRUSH agent, that it is for Barkley, the real estate agent. Learning this, it leads Kuryakin and THRUSH in a race to find Barkley. Solo realizes that Willoughby is actually Rutter, but THRUSH manages to get to him before Solo does. Meanwhile, Rutter had erased the remainder of the formula from his memory, but now tries hard to remember it, so THRUSH will stop torturing Betsy. Solo and Kuryakin foil THRUSH's plans and Rutter then begs them to destroy the computer which holds the secret formula. Commercials deleted.
