"The Inside Man" is an excellent episode of "Barnaby Jones". The only negative is that once again, Jedediah Jones is pretty ineffectual and worthless in the show and needed saving by Barnaby...something that seemed to happen way to often in season 5.
When the show begins, a company is being robbed...thanks to inside help by an employee, Ralph. However, as the two masked gunman are leaving the company, one turns to kill their partner...presumably to make one less split for the loot! Well, Ralph reacts well and ends up killing the gunman...and capturing back the money for his company! Now, Ralph is a hero as no one, other than his 'associates' realize he was the instigator of this robbery. He went from zero to hero...much like Hercules. The problem is that his confederates aren't about to just let Ralph go!
This is a very well constructed and interesting episode. I even liked the end, where Jedediah blew it once again...as otherwise it's exciting and satisfying. Well worth seeing.
