Synopsis of The Untouchables: The Silent Partner
This episode is a showcase for stalwart Untouchables supporting player Paul Picerni, here seen in his tradtional role as Federal agent Lee Hobson. After Hobson kills crooked attorney Wallace Lawton (Allyn Joslyn) in self-defense, Elliot Ness (Robert Stack) surprises him by taking credit for the killing. No, Stack isn't a glory-grabber: He merely wants to protect Hobson from retaliation at the hands of the "nameless, faceless" Syndicate boss who'd been in cahoots with the late Mr. Lawton. Unfortunately, the anonymous "silent partner" manages to have Hobson kidnapped, and for a while it looks like the intrepid agent is slated for that dreaded Last Ride. Key players in this melodrama include stars-to-be Burt Convy as an ill-fated nightclub comedian and Dyan Cannon as the comic's songstress girlfriend. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
