I do NOT call women 'broads'...but that is the best way to describe Rusty Heller (Elizabeth Montgomery). However, while she looks and acts a bit like a floozy, she is an incredibly scheming lady...with a love for the vendetta. Early in the show, she is slighted by a mob boss (Harold J. Stone) and spends much of the show working to destroy him...and kissing up to his second in command (David White) is just part of her plan. The other part involves trying to play Elliot Ness as well!
Apart from some slight overacting from Montgomery, this is an excellent and enjoyable episode. Plus I loved seeing her and White in the clinches--kissing as Samantha Stevens and Larry Tate NEVER did on "Bewitched"! I also appreciate the epilogue and the way that Rusty got revenge on everyone...including an angry and spiteful wife!
By the way, in this AND the next episode, Ness slugs the snot out of people who in no way resisted arrest! Not exactly realistic, but fun to watch.
