Season 3 Episode 13- The concluding half of this two-part storyline was the final series appearance for Charlie Chan veteran Victor Sen Yung, also the last for Richard Loo, again playing Master Sun, the same role he did in the pilot and one previous episode, "Blood Brother." Barbara Hershey, again billed as Barbara Seagull, returns as Nan Chi, who tries to save the Shaolin temple from certain destruction by surrendering herself to the Warlord (Khigh Dhiegh) who demands her for his bride. The Warlord's treacherous captain (Yuki Shimoda) has other plans for her, which even Caine cannot prevent, although the temple is spared in the end. Another adventure set in China before Caine flees to America, with welcome expanded roles for Philip Ahn and Keye Luke (also the third and last episode directed by star David Carradine). Next up- "A Lamb to the Slaughter"
