This episode originally aired as the seventh episode of the third season as The Garments of Rage on Nov. 1, 1974. In some ways, Kung Fu (1972-1975) was a traditional western: a mysterious stranger with a mysterious past swoops into town, rights wrongs, then rides off into the sunset. What made the show different was the slow-motion martial arts dealt out by half-Chinese, half-American Kwai Chang Caine (one of David Carradine's most memorable roles) in a land ruled by the gun. The show was created by Ed Spielman and developed by Herman Miller, although Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce Lee's widow, has claimed her husband created the concept for the series. Carradine received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance as Caine, and three other actors won Emmy Awards for their performances in Kung Fu. Lightly toned and creased. Edges of covers are lightly nicked, dented and discolored. Front cover is lightly soiled. Label has separated from front cover. One brass fastener is missing. Photocopy marks.
