Narrator (17 episodes, 1967)

After the show was canceled, Universal took three episodes of the program and edited them into a feature titled "The Pill Caper" (copyright 1967), which was then syndicated to television.

This series and a remarkably similar one on NBC called Captain Nice (1967) both debuted the same evening, 9 January 1967. Both shows aired their last episode on 28 August 1968 . Neither was a big enough hit to justify being renewed for a second season.

Narrator: [over opening titles] A scientist both wise and bold set out to cure the common cold. Instead, he found this power pill "which", he said, "most certainly will turn a lamb into a lion. Like an eagle he'll be flyin'! Solid steel will be like putty. It will work on anybody!" But it was found this potent pill made the strongest men quite ill. And so the secret search began to find the one and only man! What they found made them squeamish, for only Stanley Beamish, a meek and droopy daffodil, could take the special power pill that sent him soaring through the skies, fighting foes and fighting spies! When he took the pill specific, it made him the most magnific, prolific, Mister Terrific! Is this interesting? Interesting?

Barton J. Reed: Now is the time for action! A-C-T-I-O-N, action!
