The episode is set in an intimate nightclub. It seems that Georgia and her pianist, Bert, are a popular act...probably too popular. This is because a gangster known as 'Little Dandy' Dorf (Frankie Darro) has taken a strong interest in the lovely Georgia, but the feelings aren't reciprocated. But Little Dandy isn't the type to take no for an answer and he nags her for a date. Finally, out of frustration and after he grabs her, she tosses a drink in his face...and Bert goes to her aid. Now Little Dandy is mad, as no one ever crosses him....and it's obvious that the gangster intends to have his revenge.
Unfortunately, while the set-up in this episode is very good and really sucks you in, the big twist turns out to be very disappointing as it's really NOT a huge surprise nor ironic. It's just okay at best and really should have offered more in the way of excitement. Disappointing.
It's interesting seeing Frankie Darro playing the gangster, as he was a pretty big star back in the 1930s and early 40s when he was very young. However, since this time, he was not nearly in as much demand and "I Can Take Care of Myself" is one of his later TV appearances. He died pretty young...in his 50s. Very sad, really.
