Synopsis by Hal Erickson

This episode served as the pilot for the spin-off series The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. -- and in fact, went into production under the title "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. Affair." When agents Solo and Illya are incapacitated by a quartzite radiation projector, Mr. Waverly assigns their mission to UNCLE trainee April Dancer (Mary Ann Mobley) and veteran operative Mark Slate (Norman Fell). April and Mark have but 46 hours to locate the projector, which has the capacity to sabotage the U.S. space program. The trail of clues leads to a cosmetics firm run by Arthur Caresse (Kevin McCarthy) and his sister Jean (Mary Carver). Written by Dean Hargrove, "The Moonglow Affair" originally aired on February 25, 1966. Of course, by the time The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. went to series the following fall, the roles of April Dancer and Mark Slate had been recast with Stefanie Powers and Noel Harrison.
