This was another good episode, thanks in large part to a character who turned out to be not what she first appeared. I am speaking of "Lucy Hinder," played seductively by Christine White.
Lucy is the daughter of mobster "Sam Hinder," and she's Sam's secret: "the only good thing in my life and that I've ever done," he tells Det. Frank Ballinger who discovers the girl in a prim-and-proper girls boarding school in ritzy Lake Forest "where even the air is expensive," according to Ballinger (Lee Marvin.).
Our cop hero is doing everything he can to nail Hinder, a man responsible for a double murder recently, one of whom was a cop and a friend of Frank's.
Lucy, it turns out, is the key to Ballinger getting the goods on Hinder. How it happens is interesting and White is fascinating to watch. She was in her mid '20s when she filmed this episode and acted for another 20 years before calling it quits. White is somewhat well-known as a good buddy of famous actor James Dean.
Jacques Aubuchon plays "Sam," and he's good in this episode, too. Like Christine, Sam acted mostly in television shows.
