Teddy, McCormick's cellmate in prison, is out on parole. He has been staying with Mark in the guesthouse, without Hardcastle's knowledge or permission. Now, his parole officer, Quinlan, informs him that due to a minor infraction, he has the power to send him back to prison, unless he pays him a thousand dollars a week. While at the guest house, he overheard Hardcastle telling McCormick that they are going to play cards with some other judges. While they are playing, someone breaks in a robs them, and he is wearing the watch that McCormick lent to Teddy. When Hardcastle and McCormick go home McCormick tells Hardcastle that Teddy's the robber and he has been staying with McCormick in the guest house, they also discover that the guest house has been robbed also. One of the judges discovers that the robber is Teddy and learning that he McCormick were cellmates, suspects that McCormick was in on the robbery, and has him arrested because he found out who robbed them and his link to McCormick. McCormick knows that his friend wouldn't have done it unless he had a good reason. So Hardcastle has to try and prove McCormick's innocence or he'll go back to prison a three time loser.
A particularly fun episode with a good idea of a crooked parole officer who uses ex-convicts to earn some major dinero. There's a length car chase in the first twenty minutes and is quite exciting. The humour is there, and like always Brian Keith displays some fine comic timing.
