A very prescient episode. One of Boiler rooms, organised crime and a greedy arrogant man who knows how to game the rules and make money for himself.
Rick Manet (Harry Guardino) is a clever but an unscrupulous greedy man. His Space Age company claims to have found a valuable resource to be mined in South America.
However the expert's report has been twisted, enough for the Boiler Room to raise money from unwary investors.
Paul Marino is after Manet, but he needs someone to crack and go to the DA's office. Maybe lovelorn Carl Benham is the man who is too busy pining for singer Lili (Barbara Eden.)
Lili herself is being wooed by Manet.
Hard hitting and uncompromising. Just look at how criminals try to evade SEC rules. In the end there is one death and many others getting away with it.
There was a lot here that could had inspired Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, including holding meeting with the air con turned off.
