In one recent episode, Bixby rescued a kidnaped blonde nightclub singer whose will to live he had once (sob!) magically restored after she had been scarred in a fire-aided, of course, by the deductive wizardry of his "paraplegic genius" sidekick.

But the cosmonauts-including Leonov and his sidekick, Engineer Valery Kubasov, who are the prime crewmen for the mission-seemed to be particularly interested in another American spacecraft. While touring a mock-up of the giant Skylab space station-which is significantly larger than the Soviet Salyut-they poked into every compartment within sight, flipped countless switches...
