A small town is run by a corrupt Judge and his court, tragedy strikes when a desperate, dangerous criminal is released on bail, and kills two men whilst committing an armed robbery, Marino investigates.

First off, those opening sequences were excellent, quite shocking, and certainly enough to grab your attention, I thought they set this episode up very well.

Judge Loren Tolliver was a fantastic character, so complacent, so cocky, believing he's safe on top of his ivory tower. Of course what happens, someone can't wait to kick it away.

There is definitely something of a pattern to this show, and it's often a love story involving a daughter of one of the main players, this time it's The Detective's daughter Mary.

How good was Frank Lovejoy, who played The crooked Judge Loren, a commanding performance, sadly he was pass away a year later, aged just 50.

I really enjoyed this, a quality episode, 8/10.

Paul Marino decides to investigate Judge Loren Tolliver after one man he released ended up killing two guys.

Not only does he not dispense justice. He effectively runs the vice in the city.

The judge protects gangsters and racketeers. Police and city officials are given bribes to look the other way.

Marino notices that Judge Tolliver has the lowest conviction rate. While Marino is in the city, the judge as the crooks to clamp down on the vice. Close the illegal casinos but they are not happy.

The judge's undoing might come from getting involved with a young woman than any pressure from Marino or the gangsters.

A cool performance from Frank Lovejoy as the nefarious judge. He holds no fears both from the crooks or the crooked cops.
