An early 1970s version of "pranking" is the basis for this one, which begins seriously but gets lighter and lighter in tone as it goes on.
Barbara Rush plays the witness who comes forth to help put an end to the vandalism epidemic plaguing the city. She turns in a very good performance. Later, Diane McBain shows up as the woman who's been paying to have Rush harassed. McBain is seen exercising vigorously in her blue leotard while Julie pumps her for information.
It's always fun seeing Pete and Julie act as a couple and they do some heavy "making out" in the car while on stakeout duty.
There is a takedown scene with an unexpected twist which Linc uses to gain an "in" with the bad guys.
Jack Cassidy plays the mysterious bigwig who gives orders over a squawk-box. Was this the inspiration for Charlie Townsend on CHARLIE'S ANGELS?
There is a useless cameo from Danny Thomas, that doesn't really amount to much.
In an unusual move, the credits at the very end of the episode "drip" down the screen like raindrops -- very strange!
An episode that starts off with a very intriguing premise, but turns into almost slapstick silliness in the second half.
