Good writing for the female characters, especially given the times

The writing by Roland Wolpert and Robert Leslie Bellem for the women in this episode was outstanding.

In particular, for Elena Verdugo (Karen Keddy). For those of us who remember her best as Consuelo Lopez from Marcus Welby, M.D. (1969) it is fun to see her in some of her earlier roles. Thanks, MeTV.

Honorable mention to her long-suffering husband Laurence Keddy, Harlan Warde.

Second is Nina Shipman (Maggie Dolan). Closer to what we would now call an executive assistant than a secretary. One minor complaint, who decided she needed fake glasses?

Third would be cab driver Kitty Corcoran, Virginia Vincent. She would have made a good "gal Friday" in a different variation of this show.

Then there is Barbara Hines (Gloria Peyton), the bartender's wife. Honrable mention as well to her long-suffering husband, John Kellogg.

Barbara Stuart (Marla Reilly) and Jean Willes (Francie Vollmer) both get good lines

And of course, Joan Staley (Hannah).

Paying rather than confronting.
bkoganbing18 July 2018
This episode has Efrem Zimbalist on the trail of some missing $5000,00 that Med Flory a company executive as taken. Company president David White has hired Stu Bailey to locate the money and locate Flory as well before the whole thing goes public.

Turns out someone is blackmailing Flory and to protect another he's paying rather than confronting. It all leads to four one time girl roommates, one who is Flory's wife and one who winds up dead.

This might have wrapped up earlier as do many of those last season cases had Stu Bailey could call on Lt.Gilmore for some cooperation. He must miss him more than his old partners and associates.
