Aside from a ridiculously fake fight near the end (where you can see that the guys are stuntmen in wigs and the body out the window is obviously a dummy), this is a very good episode of "The F.B.I.". Now my wife said "Did you expect them to throw a REAL body out the window to make it more realistic?!".....and, I guess she's right....but it was sloppy.
The story is about three business partners whose company manufactures gyroscopes. It seems the shipment of gyros bound for planes fighting in Vietnam has a failure rate of 85%....making the planes into death traps. One partner is decent and plans on going to the Defense Department about it. The other two are less constrained by morals and have a hitman kill him. Unfortunately, the hitman (Nick Colasanto....Coach from "Cheers") is even less constrained by morals and instead of just killing the guy, he blows up the airplane he's on...killing him and many others. What's next for the two infamous partners (Fritz Weaver and Murray Hamilton)? See the show.
This is a very exciting episode...and so even with the cheesy fight, I still strongly recommend it.
