Keith Michell dominates this episode in the role of Dennis Stanton, ex-jewel thief turned insurance investigator. While probing into a theft and double murder, Dennis decides to use his own criminal knowhow to trap the culprit. At the center of the intrigue is a rare silver dollar, an icy dowager, and a few random suspicious-looking gentlemen with accents. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) break up a racket conducted by an elderly astrologer who moonlights (no pun intended) as a criminal. In other cases, the two cops provide words of comfort to a woman agonizing over her son's drug problems; and a zoning issue turns neighbor against neighbor. Finally, a hostile liquor store owner complicates Pete and Jim's investigation of a robbery by providing them with false information. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Gary Crosby makes his first series appearance as Officer Ed Wells, a hothead who subscribes to the "shoot first and ask questions later" theory of law enforcement.

But the headstrong cop refuses to listen--until a fateful (and nearly fatal) encounter with a sniper. Future Brady Bunch regular Barry Williams appears in a supporting role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
