A nice story about the inner toughness
18 July 2022
David Buchanan (Steve Forrest) is an high-powered executive that one night walks the streets and bumps into Carlos (John Gavin), and despite this was just an accident, David takes this very personally - attacking verbally and physically Carlos. When David falls and smashes his head Carlos runs in fear when a passing lady passes by and thinks it was a mugging. At the police station David insists the cops work harder and when they don't do as told, HE goes in search of Carlos as a vigilante for have his own form of justice and they end up fighting it out like cowboys in the old West but in an American city from the 1960s!

While the plot may seem ridicolous because of David's actions it was actually a good episode about what could happen if you are driven ONLY by your second brain (the one full of macho bull). Steve Forrest gives a nice performance as a guy with this issue, while John Gavin plays a perfect foil for him and Michael Ansara was good in an unusual role for him (as he is known for playing Indians or robed guys in biblical epics) as the police captain. Another good episode in this decent show.
