A local town cop is positive that a posh restaurant also has on-premise gambling. He's raided the restaurant three times and always failed to find any gambling equipment. In frustration he calls the Highway Patrol for help and Crawford and colleagues are soon there. Crawford goes under cover as a wealthy businessman seeking a little "action" but the restaurant owner is very cautious and wont let Crawford into the private dining room that has the gambling. Crawford then goes to Plan B and develops a ruse that he hopes will get them into the private dining room before the gambling equipment can be removed. What was interesting about this episode was that it showed how attitudes have changed towards gambling in the last 60 years. But even back then there was evidently a somewhat cavalier attitude towards gambling in terms of its being against the law. Not on Crawford's Dan Mathews - it was illegal so he was against it. I've rated this show lower than some of the others because it's pretty much a one set show which makes it a bit visually uninteresting. Crawford's bits of advice at the end of the show are being repeated. For this episode it was "Remember - it isn't the car that kills, it's the driver.
