A good early episode!
In this episode Drake infiltrates an Irish terrorist group by assuming another man's identity. It is one of the stories where Drake's cover is blown, and almost looses. But he handles it in such a way that one can chuckle despite the danger he is in. We see some humor and smarts, and, of course, he does indeed win in the end.
McGoohan fans will no doubt be interested in the Irish connection. He does a good job of loosing his "hot Irish temper" for show! And of course his accent gets even more befuddling... an Irishman born in NY, raised in Ireland and England, playing an American trying to pass off as an Irishman...
One of the better early episodes.

Terrific, suspenseful script
With Kieron Moore guest starring as an Irish terrorist this episode directed by Charles Frend benefits from fine locations, a wonderfully twisty script and a solid leading lady, little-known Wendy Williams (that common name, not her troubled American TV counterpart).
Pat is undercover in Scotland, in grave danger of his cover being blown, when Moore's wife, a rich young woman he's been sponging off, proves to be far more honorable than him. The psychology here is fascinating and subtle, while of course the Irish terrorists are bad guys in a British production, even though the leading men are of Irish descent.
