lieutenant for the army and then she is
notified when she enters the office that
her father named Ernest Ladd (Thomas
Gilleran) died in an accident when a
group of MP homicidals were shooting his
car off a cliff. Michael and KITT
investigates the suspicious traffic
death. Michael finds some evidence of a
bullet while the killers are watching
them and plans on killing him. Michael
buys off a guy everything at his catering
truck so he can make out that he his
selling food to people at the MP in order
to find some information there abour
Ernest's murder and found out that Ernest
had blue paint on his hand while trying
to escape from the MP homicidals. The
killers try to shoot him driving KITT in
their truck but he eventually steers them
off the road. Michael notifies Robin that
her father was actually murdered.
However, Michael had stumbled onto a scam
as he spots some missiles that had blue
paint on them and the pic describes the
coloured missiles which was the paint
that Ernest accidentally touched. He
scratches off the blue paint as he
realises that the paint was really yellow
which the yellow stands for tactical
nuclear weapon. Michael also finds out
the head of the MP named General Duncton
(Allen Oppenheimer) was responsible for
killing Ernest. KITT navigates a missile
test area at great peril while Robin is
trapped in an army tank on the field at
the test area.
Notes:
This
was an average episode with a mysterious
story. The missile attack was at fair
pace while Michael and KITT were trying
to dodge them to save Robin in the tank.
Lt
Ladd: "Is this a car or a
spaceship?!"
Michael: "A little
bit of both."

Review:
Joining
an auto stunt show is the perfect place
to show off KITT's talents, and there are
several jumps and ski-mode
demonstrations. Unfortunately, the stunts
seem a little odd since KITT uses ramps
for the stunts, not his usual
Turbo-Boosting.

Episode Review:
Nearly any
Knight Rider fan will include this
episode as one of their all-time
favorites. It has great scenes of the
twin cars chasing and turbo-boosting over

each other facing a head-on collision.
This is Knight Rider at its most
exciting. Despite being destroyed after

night to demonstrate that a bodyguard
must be on-duty at all times. After the
bomb goes off, A teary-eyed Michael is
angry at KITT:

Review:
This
was a good idea for an episode. The story
is slow with little action. However, I
enjoed the scene where both Micheal and

KITT. A much better episode in which KITT
turns bad is the fourth-season Killer
