In this comic episode, Raymond Massey guest stars as B. Elzie Bubb, a satanic gentleman who hopes to use a color-extracting device to destroy the world's most valuable paintings. UNCLE agents April and Mark try to stop Bubb by winning over his reluctant partner in deviltry, inventor Jonathan Quantum (Tom Bosley) -- who has been promised April's affections in exchange for cooperating with the villain. In keeping with the Faustian tenor of the piece, other characters include Georgie Gounod (Carol Wayne) and Willie Goethe (Dick Crockett). The script by Jerry McNeely may be unique in the overall U.N.C.L.E. saga in that none of the characters is killed -- though B. Elzie Bubb receives a deliciously appropriate comeuppance. "The Faustus Affair" was originally telecast on December 27, 1966.
