True, this story is rather similar to a more recent episode, however there are two dynamic actors who you do not want to miss. A lot of credit goes to director Leslie H. Martinson.
It's all about an embezzlement scheme, involving women connected to a feminist organization who are being bilked by the kindly, understanding operators, none other than Bradford Dillman (as Travis) and lovely Marj Dusay, playing Sylvia Blake.
These two make a diabolical couple in more ways than one, and play their respective roles incredibly well. It is so entertaining, especially Dillman, who defines the gentleman villain. Good support from popular actress Patricia Smith, a familiar face on many tv shows, both comedy and dramas.
One debit, and I agree with the last reviewer. The victim should have thought twice before confronting Travis all alone! And that was back in the day where there were no hidden cameras or high tech surveillence as there is today. Had that scene been written for tv now, it would have made more sense. Evidence! Either way, it's long shot.
This was written by Lou Shaw, and to his credit he wrote for several cop shows and later was the creator of QUINCY. Director Leslie H. Martinson does a super job with the cast, who also handled many episodes for MANNIX.
Lee Meriwether has a rather flashy role, getting all dressed up to fake out the bad guys. That's fun, and in a way, in the tradition of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.
From SEASON 3 EPISODE 21 remastered CBS dvd box set.
