In addition to writing the teleplay for this I Spy episode, Robert Culp also essays a dual role: Culp is seen in his tradtional guise as American secret agent Kelly Robinson, and also as powerful Chinese warlord Chuang-Tzu. On assignment in Burma, Kelly and his partner Scotty are ordered to negotiate with Chuang-Tzu for the release of kidnapped British photojournalist Catherine Faulkner (played by a pre-Upstairs Downstairs Jean Marsh)-who doesn't seem overly anxious to be set free. Also in the cast is Cecil Parker as the abductee's father, Sir Guy Faulkner, whose shady get-rich-quick scheme was responsible for his daughter's plight. "The War Lord" first aired on February 1, 1967.
