Like Eileen, Joan was also a Batman henchmoll, and in both instances their beauty wasn't showcased to good effect like in "Burke's Law."

Hope must be given up for a legit DVD release of S2, so time to use the boot set again for a new update!
"Who Killed Merlin The Great" involves the death of a magician while peforming an underwater trick of being able to hold his breath inside a coffin for five hours. How was the magician shot while inside his coffin placed at the bottom of a hotel swimming pool?
The Good Captain has suspects to consider like the future center square, Paul Lynde, and fellow magician Nick Adams (who was just about to leave for Japan to do his two kaiju movies). And among the ladies we have, magician's assistant Jill St. John, whose name, "Pinky Likewise" raises some eyebrows from Captain Burke.
She shows off her ability to do the levitation trick rather well!
But she is less than thrilled with being the knife-thrower's target!
Jill is almost unique among 60s bombshells who could effortlessly move back and forth between big roles in films and top TV guest star gigs. She'd already done "The Lost World" and the Jerry Lewis "Who's Minding The Store" and then after this, would in addition to films like "The Liquidator" and "Tony Rome" also make her presence felt in the great "Big Valley" episode "Barbary Red".
And the "Batman" pilot where she got top billing over guest villain Frank Gorshin!
The peak role of her career of course, would come as Tiffany Case in "Diamonds Are Forever" where like in this "Burke's Law" episode, her name attracts some amusement from the lead.

The episode "Steam Heat" has a great guest cast, with James Best, Jack Lambert, John Hoyt, and Nehemiah Persoff (in a wild-eyed, positively rabid performance). Madlyn Rhue was also in the episode in a small part, but I missed it.
The stand-out is Kipp Hamilton as Persoff's psychotic moll, Silkie, who arranges the violent death of Burke's undercover partner. Contrary to what the guy in the Amos Burke Secret Agent blog wrote, you get to see the normally unflappable Burke fly into a rage over the murder.
I did not realize Hamilton was the singer in War Of The Gargantuas who sings "The Words Get Stuck in My Throat," and then gets dropped to her death.
