Betty Ackerman and Patricia Barry are both sexy and superb in their roles in this political thriller Mannix ep about a married man running for Governor. The plot has Mannix investigating a tennis pro who killed out in the hills mysteriously. He was as it turns out mixed up with folks who wanted the man to drop from the race. Ackerman plays the candidate's comely but cheating wife. In a surprise the candidate and even his wife along with their campaign manager and speech writer are all innocent of any murder. This ep seems similar to a first season ep where Mannix did some government investigating and, if the truth could be told, the show was a little better in great season one then anytime thereafter but it was great throughout its whole 8-season run.
