Featured review
one change
This is another episode of the Crime Does Not Pay series. Sleazy used car dealer Nick buys a wreck and cleans it up. What he doesn't do is make it safe. He sells dangerous junk cars with superficial fixes. Tommy Phillips is a teenager eager to buy his first car. The trouble is that the car comes with bad brakes.
This is actually a very effective episode. It has some action. It has a good villain. It's got the consumer protection angle. It's very effective. I would make one change. Announcing the death of the child should be done in silence. It's done badly here with weak acting. More than anything, it would concentrate the punch to the line where they change the charge to manslaughter. That would be more powerful.
