This was a very enjoyable episode. Why? Because it's one of those rare occasions where the victim goes straight to Ironside for help the minute she realizes there is a problem. This smart cookie, a produce-company owner, doesn't wait until it's almost too late. Apparently, the mob is looking to get into her business as a foothold for broader schemes. Fronting for the mob, the villain's plans keep failing, but he is undeterred, and keeps coming up with new ploys to get the victim to do what he wants her to do. But Ironside is there every step of the way to keep the scoundrel's chicanery from succeeding. After failing with the mother, the crook targets her son, a young attorney who, realistically, is struggling to get his practice going. (Even back then there were too many lawyers and certainly nowadays a law degree often isn't worth a heck of a lot. Got a smart kid in your family? Tell them *not* to go to law school, go into tech, computers, medicine, something actually useful to society!). Anyway, notwithstanding the thug's tenacity and increasing villainy, he of course is foiled by Ironside. Doesn't everyone wish *they* had an Ironside they could go to for help?!
