Good story

This episode does take place outside L.A. but that doesn't prevent us to have the usual the jazzy atmosphere which we had in other episodes, a musical atmosphere usually used with urban stories. It's not the best of the series, just an agreeable episode where John Dehner plays a good heavy, a character which he was not so used to in his career. You have already read the topic above, so...

Jeff carries the whole thing here and the suspense is at the rendezvous. And I don't mention Lee Van Cleef in a very early performance, and not as a priest...

Yes, a rather solid tale, and nothing light or comedy touch here. Unlike so many other episodes of the series.
