[edit] Plot
International spies Napoleon Solo, (Robert Vaughn) and Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) witness the destruction wrought on an African village by a newly developed thermal prism. U.N.C.L.E. offers Luther Sebastian (Bradford Dillman), a notorious safe cracker, immunity from all prosecution in return for helping them steal the device.[2] Sebastian double-crosses them and takes the weapon himself, planning to use it to enable his cult 'The Third Way' to take over the world. A young Carol Lynley plays the 'innocent', Annie, who is pursuing Sebastian who has framed her fiance for a crime he did not commit. H. M. Wynant plays each of four brothers who attempt to help Annie track down Sebastian.[3]
