East European resistance leader Anton Reisner (Richard Garland) is being held in a prison cage surrounded by escape-proof glass. The cage can only be opened automatically via a newly created security device. The IMF agents hope to trick Reisner's captor Major Zelinko (Lloyd Bochner) into activating the release mechanism before the prisoner can be broken by torture. Watch for future MASH star Larry Linville as Captain Gulka. Scripted by Paul Playdon from a story by Alf Harris, "The Cage" was first telecast on February 2, 1969.
