In this episode, the hero Robert Wagner is in charge of a Young Asian prince, in order to prevent him being under bad influence against the USA. The relatives of the Young man are the evil ones, as you have already guesses. Including here James Shigeta, as a felon military intelligence officer; if you don't get who I am talking about, he is the future character of Takagi in DIE HARD, the big Japanese executive shot in the head by Alan Rickman, in his fancy suite of the Nakatomi Plaza tower. The beautiful gal is no one else than Rosemary Forsythe who co starred Charlton Heston in THE WARLORD, four years earlier. The heist part is not the most important here. But it is pleasant to be watched. No more. Directed by Lee Katzin, one more TV stuff specialist, very prolific.

I always enjoy seeing Keye Luke

Mundy goes undercover as a member of the State Department assigned to a young Asian prince. Mundy's job is to spot and stop any nefarious goings on. Good thing, as the prince's uncle has his sights set on a valuable jewel encrusted statue. The theft of the statue will lead to tension between the US and prince's country and will give the uncle his chance to make a power grab. After the uncle steals the idol, Mundy must get it back and replace it before anyone notices it's missing.
As my rating clearly indicates, When Good Friends Get Together is not among my favorite episodes. It's good, but just nowhere near as good as some of the others. The problems I have include: Patrick Adiarte's prince is super annoying, Mundy's woman of the week played by Rosemary Forsyth is super dull, and the heist is super simple. I think just about any State Department employee with a half decent golf game could have handled this case. No need to bother a master thief like Mundy.
Although he was only on-screen for a few seconds, I really enjoyed seeing Keye Luke. He's been a favorite of mine since I was very young and would stay up late to watch Charlie Chan films. It was an unexpectedly nice, but all too brief, cameo.
