The Untouchables: Search for a Dead Man (1963)

Synopsis of The Untouchables: Search for a Dead Man

This Untouchables episode is the second of two unsold pilot films for the spinoff series The Seekers, starring Barbara Stanwyck as Lt. Agatha "Aggie" Stewart of the Chicago Bureau of Missing Persons. On this occasion, Aggie is determined to identify the "John Doe" whose body was recently fished out of Lake Michigan--especially after an expensive wreath is sent to the dead man's grave in Potter's Field. Tracing the teller's mark on the cash used to buy the flowers, Aggie locates one Claire Simmons (Sheree North), who has quite a story to tell. Meanwhile, Elliot Ness (Robert Stack) and the Untouchables are hot on the trail of a criminal gang led by the Portuguese Brothers--never dreaming that his assignment and Aggie Stewart's search will soon merge into one single case. Edward Asner and Virginia Capers appear respectively as detective Frank Benton and Lt. Stewart's secretary Aggie, repeating their roles from the previous episode "Elegy". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
