This year, however, he is afflicted with an infirmity that renders him unable to use his sword. Rather than give up this important commission and let the martial world know of his precarious health he means to entrust the consignment to two young knights in his manor, Hsiang Ting and Yun Piao-Piao. As it happens, these two are also betrothed; clearly they have their swordsmanship in common. At Peerless Manor, everyone is suspicious of malevolent strangers who may be sniffing around the silver transport. So when Le I appears astride a high-quality charger but otherwise clearly down on his luck, Hsiang Ting thinks Le I may be a spy for the bad guys in the Flying Tiger Manor. It doesn't help that Le I and Yun Piao-Piao hit it off right away. Even or especially when Le I saves Yun Piao-Piao from a Flying Tiger thug, Hsiang is not assuaged.

Inspired by the era of live-action TV series such as "All in The Family" comes Hanna-Barbera's generation-gap animated comedy series "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home". Tom Bosley provides the voice of Harry, an affable 40-something everyman and suburban father of three whose daily routine is anything but when he faces the provocative questions of the make-love-not-war era. Women's Lib, civil rights, hippies, sexuality, communes and the Cold War are some of the hot button petals in this series' flower-powered laughfest. They're all part of Harry's world, where a man's home is his hassle. This complete series set of two seasons and 48 episodes is highlighted by guest voice appearances from Monty Hall, Don Knotts, Phyllis Diller and Rich Little.
