For me, the presence of Suzanne Pleshette (and absence of Jonathan Harris) makes for one of the better episodes of the series, among the few I've seen. Very little is as it first seems in the odd task of purchasing a Portuguese castle near a small village which seems full of oddly unhelpful people (and we learn that there are reasons for various sorts of unhelpfulness, as well as several people and agencies involved in the confusion). I generally like the description given on the landing page, but don't remember if the math error (10% of a million dollars would be a hundred thou, rather than $10K) is that of the script/production or the previous IMDb contributor...suspect the latter. The explanation of the title is a bit cute, but mildly amusing. Also notable as one of the most fondly-remembered series on the short-lived NTA Film Network in the US; it outlasted its network, and was offered in first-run syndication in the US in its later seasons.

But the actress who plays prostitute Lois Jordan in this episode and has a cameo in the next seems not to be credited anywhere.

I wonder if that is by her request, or something else more unusual going on?

Simply sub-professional on every level. No one here gives anything resembling a professional performance, the script, direction and special effects are even worse, and no other other aspect of the video is up to the level of production of even something like "The Room", nor is this waste of time even as unintentionally campily strange. One of those amateur films that looks a bit like a more slapdash than usual porn film, with no sex and even less polish. Never before have supposed European and Arab cities looked so much like scruffier streets in L.A. or perhaps Cleveland or Toronto.

Television listings services and even the poster art editors at IMDb have been known to confuse this film with the no-budget 2001 feature of the same title with Karen Sillas...at least that one had a professional actor or two on hand.
