PETER GUNN - The Crossbow- 1960

This is episode 74 from the 1958 to 1961 P.I. series, PETER GUNN. Craig Stevens headlines as the hard as nails detective who always dresses with style. Regulars in the series are Minerva Urecal as the owner of MOTHER'S jazz club, and Lola Albright. Albright plays Stevens' squeeze, Edie Hart, who is the club singer at, MOTHER'S.

P.I. Peter Gunn, (Craig Stevens) is called to the home of the Henry Daniell. Daniell is the owner of an 15th century crossbow. Or he was the owner before the weapon had been stolen. The weapon has been used in several murders and Daniell would like Stevens to find it.

Needless to say several more people end up with unwanted crossbow bolts before Stevens can trace the killer. More than a few red herrings are thrown about in this one. Also in the mix is George Kennedy, Burt Douglas, Theo Marcuse and a huge hunting dog.

Not the greatest of episodes, but a series this good is allowed a misstep every so often.
