    A surprising cast in a very good episode.

    This episode has a lot of star power with guest stars like Louis Jourdan, Jessica Walter and Peter Graves. It's also interesting to watch because seeing Graves playing a bad guy who is helping the communist world is a stark contrast to his ongoing role as Mr. Phelps on "Mission: Impossible"!

    The episode begins with a truck hijacking and vicious murder of the driver. It seems that an organized group is stealing truckloads of supplies important for the US government and then sells them to communist countries in Europe. The FBI's first task is to figure out WHO is selling out his company by telling the gang about the shipments....and the trail, not surprisingly, leads to a pretty lady who is working to blackmail the poor shnook.

    This is a well written episode, filled with all sorts of exciting elements and good acting. Overall, well worth seeing.
