In this Misch & Kelly story, Nelson is being threatened, apparently by someone who works at the local strip club.  Along with a "Lolita" joke earlier, there's some borderline tasteless and not particularly funny innuendo, with the exception of Mork's strip act, which made me smile.  Not a bad episode but the show continues to drift from what it does best.

Timothy Blake, who plays Madge, was Midge on The Bob Newhart Show.  Dick Yarmy has his middle of three Mork roles, as Ron.  David Wall, who does the Club Owner's voice, had played Julius.  John Miranda makes his first of two Mork appearances, as the Cop; he'd recently played Bill on Three's Company.
