Using its mechanical claw, Alvin was supposed to slip a cable around the bomb so that it could be towed by surface ship up the incline to a plateau 2,000 ft. below the sea's surface. Once it was on level ground, the bomb would be clamped in steel jaws and brought up to the 400-ft. level, where Navy divers would inspect the bomb. If it was intact...

The first episode featured a villainous dwarf, the second a one-armed Chinese (The Claw) with a magnetized prosthesis. When he asked Smart, "Do you know what they call me?" Smart thought it over, replied: "Lefty...
