One of the few 77 Sunset Strip episodes where the accent was on the comedy finds Jeff Spencer in the Latin American Republic of San DeDe awaiting the arrival of JR with some papers.

Roger Smith is led to believe this is a fairly routine assignment. But Robert Logan thinking this is some kind of cloak and dagger stuff gets himself a diplomatic briefcase has it handcuffed to his wrist and leaves the key back in Los Angeles.

From this wonderful start Smith and Logan get a magical mystery tour and lesson in San DeDe politics and culture. It seems like a wonderfully and cheerfully corrupt country that I wouldn't want to live in.

Some amusing moments especially when the two get the deluxe suite at the San DeDe prison complete with television and maid service. From the Lupe Velez maid service.

This is a mildly amusing episode and a change of pace for 77 Sunset Strip.

This episode is so bad I was suspecting Roger Smith had written it. It comes complete with rose-between-the-teeth senorita and a guitar played, unfortunately, by Roger Smith, while he sings and makes with the hand percussion on the guitar top. We are all supposed to be rolling around on the floor laughing at the Spanish-American stereotypes including a hotel desk clerk who uses a megaphone to address a guest eight feet away across the lobby, and to tolerate the completely lame plot about 'business contracts' mysteriously acquired by Bailey & Spencer and provided to local businessmen without anyone wondering about professional ethics. The worst I've seen in this mostly enjoyable series. Sadly the senorita isn't even credited here yet: she is the only thing worth watching.
