Max gets poisoned by a female KAOS agent and is doomed to die at one o'clock the next day. Dr. Steele, CONTROL's scientist and stripper, tells Max that she can make an antidote if he can get a sample of the poison. He goes on a search for Mr. Hercules, the KAOS agent who ordered the poisoning. It turns out that Hercules is a health nut who runs a gym.

One of the doctors Max visits is Dr. Abbott Norman, obviously named after the episode's director.

Dave Ketchum started his writing career with this episode.

Mr. Hercules is played by John Fielder, who played numerous wimps over the years, as well as Mr. Peterson on the Bob Newhart show
