This was one of the best of 77 Sunset Strip episodes. I love it because second
banana Roscoe is the focus of the story. Though it's a good thing that Roger
Smith is around when things begin to pop.
Louis Quinn's connections to various criminal types and the fact that these folks do know that he works for Bailey&Spencer nearly get him killed as both sides try to use him in a gang war where Alan Baxter wants to hit Norman Alden and Alden wants to prevent that. In fact imported hit man James Best moves into Hope Summers boardinghouse where Quinn rents a room. Best is a particularly nasty customer.
Roscoe even gets a bit of romance showing love ain't just for the young with fellow roomer Christine Nelson who plays a math teacher who likes to handicap the ponies. What better for Roscoe than a woman who follows the Sport of Kings?
This one is a must for fans of the series.
