All the time he's plotting to kill the (never seen) warden "number one". I think in the end he discovers that he has been "number one", all along.
Full of sexy british women, violence, bizzare sub-plots and sub-text, it was just perfect to help mold a pre-teen's psyche.

Yes!! Even Better than My Mother The Car! Patrick McGoohan yelling "I am NOT a number", then hopping into a Mini Moke and roaring off.
Fantastic writing for back then. It would stand up well, even today.
