It was sort of an adventure-comedy. Tony Randall played 7 different characters, including a 7,000 year old Chinese mystic, Medusa, and Merlin the Magician, among others. I think some of the funniest/awkwardest moments now come from Randall's unintentionally(?) racist portrayal of Dr. Lao. It was a different era, when you could more easily get away with broad caricatures of racial stereotypes.
