A scimitar wielding thief straight out of '1001 Nights' (Malachi Throne) and his towering slave (Ted Cassidy) arrive in search of a princess who was kidnapped by an evil vizier two centuries earlier. By this point in the series there is little 'science' in the fiction as Will, Penny, and Smith travel to the thief's asteroid base in an apparently magical sedan-chair with open windows. As a strange bottle fell on the planet in the opening scenes, the 'treasure' the thief is seeking is apparent to everyone other than Will and Penny, otherwise the 'plot' winds along somewhat less predictably than earlier season 2 episodes. Throne hams it up (not surprisingly, given his lines and costume) and Cassidy is his usual large, basso self. The 'twist' ending is pretty funny but may earn 'tsk tsks' from those with easily offended modern sensibilities. Far from brilliant but fun enough to pass the time.
