YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME, I'LL DO SOMETHING FOR YOU!

This is an intriguing "double cross" story, well written by Robert Sherman, who also was one of the co-producers of the series. Sherman later wrote for FANTASY ISLAND.

It's all about a pile of stolen loot, tied to a guy in jail who bribes a bails bondsman to get him out ASAP. If he helps him, there's a tidy amount of money waiting! Of course, you know there's some tricks up the guys sleeve and that's when Barnaby enters the picture.

Very well acted, and with special guest star Sheree North, playing Roxie, who runs the bail bond company, called BAD BOYS BAIL BONDS! Sheree is always great to watch, who earlier in her career was groomed to be the next Marilyn Monroe.

Also look for Lynn Marta as Sally, who could play some defining characters, both good and bad.

Famous bit actor Bob Harks, who acted in a ton of movies and tv shows, plays a sheriff.

This episode also holds the distinction of being the first that actually shows Barnaby taking a stiff drink(!) at the end of the case! Why Not?

SEASON 3 EPISODE 6 remastered CBS dvd box set.
