**SPOILERS** I'm kinda surprised that none of the other reviewers have noticed the distinct similarities between Suzanne Lloyd and Gloria Talbott. Put next to each other; they could be sisters, almost twins. In this episode Suzanne, (Sheila) is married badly to a total snake. He has the usual way of charming his way into peoples' wallets, and personal lives, that always wind up hurting people, and shaming them into silence for their own guilt. Enter Pete Mallory (My kinda guy), courage, indignation and fearless when it comes to his mistakes.
Another dirty business deal from Stu Benton (Sheila's Huz), only THIS time, Mallory doesn't back off. He fights back; legally, verbally , and physically. Benton is happily killed - so long, dirtbag. Pete goes to Perry, and the plot starts its discomposed journey into the courts and Perry's defense of someone standing up for their rights. Beautiful Della plays spy, Paul confronts a guy playing P.I., Sheila explains to Perry about how dirty her Huz really is (reveletory).
Four good reviewers have gone before me in this analysis, so I'll cut to the closing statements. The guy who did the deed? His main worry was the fact that he suffered from unnatural fears; he was afraid most of the time. I'll bet that the L.A. County lockup is gonna be sheer hell for him; he's been living in it most of his life, and solitary, then suicide will probably be his only option.
No matter what evidence Burger had, he did not have Pete's fingerprints on the marker post; which was a small grade fencepost. Why would Pete use a weapon, when he already K-O'd Benton? HE'S the guy with the guts. NOT anyone who would hide how they felt. He was also smart enough to hire Perry.
Very good episode, great acting; especially from the fearful killer, Phil Edwards, played by Joe De Rida; he was perfect as a guy who was terrified of almost any threat. Thanks to IMDb for references, and I really wonder why the casting department never had Gloria and Suzanne in the same episode? (R.I.P., Gloria, we all loved you).
