Sue Ling (Lisa Lu), a Chinese slave girl purchased by the infamous General Tsung (Richard Loo), is kidnapped and held for ransom by low-lifes Gordon (Mort Mills) and Barrett (Harry Lauter). But when Joe Cartwright plays poker with the two kidnappers, he unwittingly ends up with Sue Ling as his "winnings." Meanwhile, General Tsung and his minions cut a murderous swath through the region in search of the missing girl. Philip Ahn also appears in this episode as Kam Lee. Written by John T. Dugan, "Day of the Dragon" was originally telecast on December 3, 1961, directly opposite the controversial Bus Stop episode "A Lion Is in the Streets" (which got all the publicity but none of the ratings).
