In this one, a woman is accused of murder and Joe is hired by her husband to find evidence that will prove she's innocent.
Unlike many episodes, the killer is not obvious and there are many possible suspects, so there's a genuine mystery here and some nice twists.
The performances from the entire cast are excellent, including Tina Sinatra in a rare television appearance. She only made a handful of them and only one more after this, so this is a rarity.
There are some obvious plot holes, like how did Joe know there was something in the fire extinguisher and how did he know Snowy was the killer and that Snowy was planning to steal the heroin? Where's the evidence of all this?
This one sets the record for the longest opening scene without Mike Connors appearing, at seven minutes.
This is the first mention of Albie in several years, although he doesn't actually appear. His last appearance was in Merry Go Round for Murder in season two.
There are a couple clichés - Joe gets clobbered in the head again and shot at but not hit.
There are some good action scenes but unfortunately one of them is played in slow motion, which completely ruins it.
This one has a really good mystery and great performances from the entire cast but it's taken down a few notches by the obvious plot holes and clichés and one of the action scenes being played in slow motion, but it's still slightly better than average.
