This two-parter was so good that I had to watch both of them in one sitting. After Mike writes an anti-American letter to the editor, Archie accidentally gets caught up in the Klan, who intend to burn a cross on Mike's lawn.

Terrified, but too stupid to go to the police, Archie uses his brains to stop them; he relies on their cowardliness. His solution is pretty low intelligence-wise, which is great because the Klansmen can then understand it.

I was disappointed to see "My Favorite Martian" (Ray Walston) as the Klan secretary, but he was probably the only one intelligent enough to know how to write.

I know that episode, and the actor you refer to was not Ray Walston, though it does look like him. I have seen him elsewhere. Looking at a full cast list, his name is one of 3; I think it is Owen Bush.

You're probably right. I figured there wasn't a Klansman on earth intelligent enough to keep records.

Get it, Get it?
