M-SQUAD – Neighborhood Killer -1957
This is the third episode of the 1957 to 1960 Crime series, M-SQUAD. The series ran for 117 episodes and features Lee Marvin as the headliner. Marvin is a Lt with the elite M-Squad unit of the Chicago Police.
A night beat cop, Don Kennedy, finds broken glass at the front of a pawn shop. He heads for the handy Police call box and reports the incident. Just as he hangs up, several gunshots split the night time quiet and Kennedy goes down in a heap.
Police Lt Lee Marvin draws the case. With no leads, the police are somewhat at a loss where to start. They go through Kennedy's files to see if anyone he arrested, could be looking for some payback. This is of course rather time consuming, but it does turn up a few possibilities that need to be checked.
Then a local kid is caught trying to sell a bag full of watches that been stolen from the pawnshop. A few minutes of 3rd degree soon convinces Marvin that the lad might have stolen the watches, but is innocent of shooting the cop. It is back to the leads from Kennedy's files.
Several days of hunting down people and numerous interviews are needed before a clue pops up. The brother, Grant Richards, of a man that Kennedy had arrested, killed Kennedy in revenge. When Marvin calls him on the matter, guns are pulled and an exchange of gunfire needed before Richards is arrested.
Also in the cast is, Robert Patten, Vicki Raaf, Stafford Repp and Paul Newlan. (b/w)
