Once again lousy security at Space City creates a problem that should easily been avoided.
But despite this and the rather comic Briggs Brothers, this is not a bad episode. Some of the highlights: the Briggs brothers blowing up the salvaged robot freighter to destroy any evidence of sabotage that could be traced back to them; Director David Elliot's building of mystery and suspense as the unknown saboteur approaches the (unguarded) robot freighter; a tape recorder floating in space to draw the XL5 away from escort duty of a freighter; a great shot at night through the window of the Brigg's brother offices so Steve can see them smoking cigars and playing cards; and best of all Steve kicking in the door to take the brothers prisoner! The adventure rises above the weakness of the villains and the obvious saboteur to be quite watchable and a lot of fun.
