Recap / The Man From Uncle S 1 E 27 The Gazebo In The Maze Affair

“Kuryakin. It's an odd sort of name, isn't it? Are your people from Bristol, young man?”

Acts:

1. "A Skeleton In The Dungeon"
2. "Dark Going-ons In Eastsnout"
3. "Wait'll You Hear My Plan"
4. "A-maze-ing"

Tropes:

• Bookcase Passage: The house has at least two secret passages that lead to the dungeon. One is part of a bookcase; the other is behind a fireplace.
• Death Course: The maze is reportedly filled with booby traps, though only a few are actually deployed.
• Escape Artist: Edith says she has a background as one—in fact, when Napoleon and Illya tie her to the rack, she confides that she is secretly interested in seeing how long it takes her to get out.
• Savage Wolves: Illya encounters one in the maze. It eventually eats the chauffeur.
