This episode had a good point or "moral." Namely that we know what our freedoms in America are all about and not to take our privileges for granted.

The romance between the Prussian count and the secretary was a bit obvious and telegraphed a mile off. We knew she wasn't going to wind up with Wishbone, though she was allowed to express affection with him.

The flogging scenes (there were two, one with Clay and one with the count) were quite abbreviated and I am sure that was a result of TV censorship. If the story had been allowed to be more hard-hitting, pun intended, we would have seen the abuses on the count's farm more graphically and realistically portrayed.

Gil Favor is not in this episode. And Rowdy has two short scenes, one at the beginning and one at the end, with very little dialogue in each of his scenes. Mushy and Hey Soos barely appear at the end. This episode belongs to Wishbone, Clay & Quince who are held captive by the count for most of the 48 minute running time.

I suppose they had to give Eric Fleming and Clint Eastwood a break, and it's nice to see some of the supporting players get to do something more for a change. I loved the scenes with Wishbone teaching the secretary how to cook for the count. I would have intercut this with Mushy back at the main camp, coming up with new recipes for Rowdy and the other guys...enjoying his own freedom to create without Wishbone hovering over him and telling him what to do all the time.
