Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Dorothy Lamour guest-stars as Halima, a stubborn Arab woman who prevails upon agents Kelly and Scott to help her father Quazzani (Edgar Stehli) rightfully reclaim a fortune in Marakkech. What Halima fails to tell our heroes is that Quazzani has been targetted for extinction by soft-spoken assassin Roop (Nehemiah Persoff). Perhaps inspired by the presence of Lamour in the cast, "The Honorable Assassins" bears all the earmarks of an old "Road" picture, with Kelly and Scotty subtly assuming the characterizations normally assigned to Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Written by Les and Tina Pine, the episode originally aired on October 16, 1967.
