Ep 22. Smart Fit the Battle of Jericho

Smart Fit the Battle of Jericho is an episode from season two of the 1965 American spy comedy television series Get Smart. The show follows the misadventures of bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart, also known as Agent 86, and his partner, Agent 99.

In this episode, the two agents are tasked with stopping a KAOS plot named "Operation: Jericho." The plan involves the assassination of the U.S. ambassador to Krotavia, a fictional Eastern European country. Agent 86 and 99 travel to Krotavia to prevent the assassination and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Upon arrival, the agents discover that the ambassador is on a fitness kick and has hired a personal trainer named Harry Hoo to help him get in shape. Harry Hoo is a parody of a stereotypical Chinese detective and provides much of the comic relief in the episode.

While undercover as Harry Hoo's assistants, Agents 86 and 99 discover that KAOS agents are also posing as personal trainers. These KAOS agents are intent on carrying out their assassination plot and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.

In order to stop the KAOS agents and protect the ambassador, Agent 86 must infiltrate the enemy's ranks by posing as one of their own. This leads to several hilarious moments as Agent 86 struggles to keep up with the intense KAOS fitness regimen.

Throughout the episode, Agent 86's trademark misunderstandings and miscommunications provide plenty of laughs, as well as some suspenseful moments as he attempts to thwart the assassination plot. Meanwhile, Agent 99 provides a steady hand and a level head, helping to keep the operation on track.

As the episode reaches its climax, Agent 86 must face off against the KAOS agents in a final showdown at the ambassador's mansion. Along the way, there are plenty of twists and turns as the plot thickens and the danger escalates.

In the end, Agent 86 is able to save the day, thwarting the assassination plot and bringing the KAOS agents to justice. The episode concludes with a typical Get Smart gag, as Agent 86 accidentally blows up the mansion with a misplaced hand grenade.

Overall, Smart Fit the Battle of Jericho is a classic episode of Get Smart, combining the show's trademark humor with some suspenseful spy action. It also features some memorable characters, including the hilarious Harry Hoo and the sinister KAOS agents.
