Mary Ann Mobley guest stars in this episode as Crystal and is needed for the mission because of her expertise. Crystal works in the circus and does an act where she spins while suspended by her teeth from great heights. She'll be the main attraction at a fake circus--one that will just happen to set up near a prison where an elderly Cardinal is incarcerated. It seems that Cardinal Vossek (Cyril Delevanti) is the voice of the opposition and he's being silenced. Their mission is to somehow get the man out of the prison and back to safety in the West.
The team needs a man inside the prison so Rollin (Martin Landau) gets the dubious honor. So, while Crystal is performing, he picks pockets using his skills in magic. But, he wants to get caught and soon is. What's next? See the show for yourself.
So is the show any good? Well, considering it's from season one and this was (in my humble opinion) the best in the series, then you can assume from the outset that it will be awfully good. The only question, then, is there enough material to sustain two episodes? This is because sometimes I've seen two-parters that just lagged because there really wasn't enough material for nearly two hours of show. Well, to know this, you might want to read my review of part two. Well written and interesting. Plus, fans of Peter Lupus will get to watch this well-muscled man lifting weights and other feats of strength in a skimpy outfit as part of the circus.
