Legendary piano bar singer Bobby Short guest stars in this episode and his favorite
number is a story about a real crime which Geoffrey Thorne pays close attention to. He ought to pay it mind because it's the story of how the grandfather of
Wilson Sweet was the victim of a bias killing. Some of the local rednecks in 1948
Mississippi did not think it right that a black man ought to be driving a brand
new off the lot Packard. The song and story go was that grandfather Sweet
made several good passes in a crap game and won the money to pay for it.
A couple of those good old boys are still around and justice may be late, but it does arrive sort of.
This episode was Geoffrey Thorne's big moment in this series and there's a nice guest star turn from James Best as a long retired sheriff's deputy.
