Verrückter wilder Westen The Night of the Flying Pie Plate (1965–1969) Online

Agent James West is protecting a shipment of gold en route to an Arizona town when he sees a flaming light in the sky and hears a loud crash. West and the townspeople discover that a spaceship has landed and they witness three green women, resembling Martians, coming out of the ship. Apparently, the women want to trade the precious gems on their clothing for gold, which will be used as fuel for their spaceship's return trip. Artemus Gordon, posing as an expert jeweler, senses a scam as he examines one of the gems.

Beginning with this episode, the freeze frames at the end of each act are drawings, not photographs.

In this episode, Robert Conrad (James T. West) carves a dollar sign into the saloon mirror with a suspected diamond. In the film "The Giant Spider Invasion", Robert Easton (Kestor) carves a dollar sign in his kitchen window with a suspected diamond. Both co-star Leslie Parrish.

While you can cut glass with a diamond, a jewler seeing you do that would freak out. While very very hard, diamond is also brittle; scratching glass with a diamond could easily chip the points and edges of the diamond. Don't try this at home.

A standard, by-the-numbers story with few surprises, no memorable gadgets, but lots of action -- namely, Robert Conrad beating the crap out of his stunt-men. Two of the lovely green alien girls (Leslie Parrish, Arlene Charles) also did guest roles in season one. The sound effect for the UFO hatch opening and closing is the same used on "I Dream of Jeannie" whenever she comes out of her bottle in a smoke cloud.

This October 1966 episode is most significant for being the first UFO hoax story -- a TV trope other shows were quick to copy. In December "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." did a near-identical story ("The Take Me to Your Leader Affair). In January 1967 "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E." recycled this plot again ("The UFO Affair"). In March 1967 "The Green Hornet" did yet another shameless copy of this plot ("Invasion from Outer Space") with fake aliens in silly silver jumpsuits. Also Batman's "The Joker's Flying Saucer" (Feb. 1968).

Real spaceships are mistaken for UFOs in Star Trek's "Tomorrow is Yesterday" (January 1967), "Lost In Space" ("Visit to a Hostile Planet", Sept. 1967) and "I Dream of Jeannie" (Sept. 1968).

This is an excellent episode with plenty of action and a good story to keep things moving along. An excellent guest cast helps too. William Windom, one of the best character actors on TV during the 60's & early 70's is great here as Ben Victor. Windom was a busy actor during this period as he was also doing a Star Trek episode guest shot, The Doomsday Machine.

The show starts with Jim West meeting Ben Victor in a bar. West then gets involved in one of the wildest fight sequences of the entire series. Then, the flying saucer is spotted landing outside of town.

From here, the show spends a long time making it seem that Victor is the guy behind everything involving the saucer. Jim investigates the saucer & makes nice with the alien women on board. Artie comes into town and they start checking out what is happening.

Eventually, there is a showdown with Jim , Artie, & the entire gang on the Saucer (ie pie plate) where we find out Ben Victor is a red herring. We already know by now what these aliens are after. Then there is the time to die or stop the gang for Jim & Artie.

The closing is a classic blackout on the train where Jim & Artie look out the window and see another pie plate flying in the distance.

Dan Ullman's 'The Night Of The Flying Pie Plate' opens in the town of Morning Cloud, Arizona with Jim storing U.S. government gold in the safe of 'Ben Victor' ( William Windom ). A mad preacher named 'Hellfire Simon' ( Ford Rainey ) shows up at the saloon, warning of impending doom, and a brawl - in which Jim is involved - ensues. A mysterious glowing object lands outside the town. Aboard are three beautiful Venusian females with green-tinged skin, among them 'Morn' ( the stunning Leslie Parrish ). As the preacher gets closer, a force-field keeps him at bay. The women appear to have mental powers. Their ship needs fuel to return to Venus. They call it Mildem, but here on Earth its known as gold. In exchange for their gold, the townspeople will be given priceless Venusian gems...

As another reviewer has pointed out, there was a two-part 'Green Hornet' episode called 'Invasion From Outer Space' which had a similar premise. The 'flying pie plate' looks like something out of Jules Verne. Jim does not have his usual gadgets. Leslie Parrish is even more beautiful than usual, and that's saying something. It is a good episode, the only flaw being the final scene where we are told that Victor has been sent to jail for 10 to 20 years, whereas in the previous scene it looked as though he had been killed in an explosion.

It is so obvious that some features have inspired this episode. First the scene of the village folks running to the landing place of the space ship is nothing more nothing less than WAR OF THE WORLDS sequence at the beginning of the Byron Haskin's movie. And the Following topic is also a bit inspired by Bob Wise's famous DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL.
