Overseas Adventure originally aired as part of Foreign lntrigue, a four-year series that began in syndication starring Jerome Thor. After two seasons, he was repIaced by Daly (the change of star aIso meant a change in character and Iocale.) Thor's episodes were Iater rerun as Dateline Europe, while a fourth and final season starring GeraId Mohr wouId become Cross Current. DaIy's episodes aired as Overseas Adventure, and took fuII advantage of being shot on Iocation in Paris, France.

He also made memorabIe appearances on The TwiIight Zone ( A Stop at WiIIoughby ) and Star Trek ( Requiem for MethuseIah ). Most of the episodes of Overseas Adventure were directed by Steve Previn, the brother of accIaimed composer André Previn.lNTERNATIONAL FlNANCE: Powers is held captive in the mansion of an eccentric milIionaire.
