So many great character actors in this episode. Parley Baer, Vic Perrin were veteran radio performers. Add Wright King to the mix. And Ted Knight. And Beau Bridges. You have to admire the combined talent of all these performers. Makes for an entertaining hour of newcomers like Stephen Brooks and Beau Bridges (and Clint Howard back when he was cute) and polished pros like Efrem Zimbalist, Parley Baer, and Vic Perrin. . I read a book about Quinn Martin that said he paid top dollar for talent and it shows. The script was not the best however. The ending seemed a little too convenient. And not particularly believable. Oh well. I enjoyed watching the pros at work.

When the episode begins, a young man (Beau Bridges) finds a dying man and his car by the side of the road. The man dies soon after...and the young guy finds nearly half a million dollars stashed in the car! He takes the car and is soon intercepted by another car carrying two thugs (one is Ted Knight). They shoot him and somehow he escapes.

A bit later, the bleeding guy wanders into the FBI building and collapses. Now the agency has to determine who he and and where all this money came from as well as is the money legitimately his. But there are a few problems. First, after surgery, the guy has no memory of who he is...and this is consistent with his injury according to the surgeon. Second, no one has reported this money as missing. Can the agents sort all this out by the time the final credits arrive?

This is an interesting episode with a rather violent finale. Worth seeing...and worth seeing Ted Knight playing someone this awful. In fact, before he played Ted Baxter on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", he did occasionally play evil folks...not just here but on "Get Smart" and a few other shows.
