With a script by Gene L. Coon (top writer for future shows like "Star Trek" and "Mr. Lucky") and terrific direction from film master Basil Dearden, this debut of the series features exciting derring-do in flashback as the Four Just Men and their since-deceased leader blow up a bridge manned by the Nazis during World War II.
It proves to be a pyrrhsic victory, but serves as a backdrop to their current post-war charge to do good deeds battling for justice internationally.
I was impressed how the script by Coon gives our superstars each important contributions, and also builds up plenty of sentimental content along the way without getting in the way of wartime action/adventure.
It adds up to a solid sendoff.
