"The Rogues" was a cool series. It was
EXACTLY an early version of TVs "Mission: Impossible", at least in
premise. A team of people, who happened to be relatives to each
other, traveled the world to fight injustices using incredible means
and schemes. In this episode, the Fleming family busted up a
woman slavery ring headed by Arabs.
Quinn played Donagh (pronounced "Donna")
Cunningham. The end credits say her character name is Donagh
O'Patrick, but this is false. There's a funny story about
that. Quinn was given the script, saw the name O'Patrick, and
flipped. She was born in Scotland and frequented all of the UK,
and was positive that there was no such name as O'Patrick. So she
wanted it changed. In the show, the character was called Donagh
Cunningham, but in the end credits, it was still left as
O'Patrick! This was the only annoyance for Quinn concerning this
show. She absolutely LOVED filming this episode, and why
not? It was a well-done story with a great cast, most of them
Hollywood screen legends! This series starred Charles Boyer, whom
Quinn worked with most closely of anyone in the cast, David Niven, Gig
Young, and a host of others. Even Alvy Moore, later of "Green
Acres" fame as Hank Kimball, had a bit part in this episode playing
George.
In this episode, Charles Boyer and Quinn O'Hara ARE
the major characters. David Niven is given third importance, and
Gig Young fourth. Quinn is most capable of handling leading lady
parts. She plays an Irish girl who was kidnapped by the Arabs,
ran away, and helped the Flemings bust up the slavery ring. Boyer
and Quinn have a lot of great one-on-one moments. Plus, you get
to see Quinn do a really excellent Irish accent.

piano! The piano music was added in post-production. I
don't know if he even knew how to play the piano, but it was a great
scene!"

The infamous mistake! Donagh
Cunningham is called Donagh O'Patrick in the credits!
