****SPOILERS**** All that San Francisco Giant manager Marvin Cruse, Bruce Gordon, needed was his star outfielder and league leading hitter Clint Atkins, Garry Collins, to freak out and go haywire at the hight of the NL, National League, pennant race. It's Clint's good friend Chief Iroside, Raymond Burr, assistant Det. Sgt. Ed Brown, Don Galloway, who seems to know what's been bugging him these last few and critical, in the Giant's winning the NL pennant, days where he's been getting threatening phone calls and letters telling him to pay up, a cool $100,000.00, or he and his family will be very sorry. At first Clnit's just fluffed off all these threats as nothing but a bunch of crank calls and letters. But when during a game at Candlestick Park he was shot with a pellet gun while chasing a fly ball he realized that they were dead serious!
At first ready to go along with the blackmail and pay his tormentor off it's Clint's wife Marcy, Mary Ann Mobley, who blows the cover that Chief Ironside had provided to her and her family. That's in Marcy letting out the fact that she knows about what he's up to and what he want's the next time that the unknown caller a former wash out from the SF Giant's spring training camp Earnie Wilson, Noam Pitlik, calls in. Now knowing that the police are on to him he in turn blows his cover by coming right out into the open in the Giant's locker room to finish the job that he started by blowing Clint away! In him doing that with his what looked like a toy be-be gun from a box of Crackerjacks. What he didn't expect was that Det Sgt. Brown was there waiting for him and together with Clint put an end to all his crazy and deranged antics.
P.S This Ironside episode was in some way a reunion of a number of actors and actresses who were also in a bunch of Perry Mason episodes that also stared Raymond Burr. Which included Bruce Gordon Mary Ann Mobley and her real life husband and guest star in "Tormentor" Garry Collins.
