Hong Kong is a photogenic city. Poverty is romantic. That music in the background is pretty silly. Gopher and Isaac wear trench coats and chase spy Gene Kelly. The spy stuff is especially stupid. They go to Jumbo Kingdom, the floating restaurant. I had to go and read about that. It capsized in 2022. I miss the days when politicians were concerned about morality. Ah! Those were the days! Will Donna Reed marry her Senator? There's always a way. Meanwhile, Julie has been exchanged for a newer model. She tells Vicki to 'Follow your heart.' Terrible advice. Julie McCoy will never have children. Imagine having so much money that it's a problem to stop spending it. On Kafka's Love Boat Scale, this episode gets 2 * out of a possible 4 *.
