This episode of The Untouchables takes Robert Stack to Mexico on the trail of witness Byron Foulger who was set to testify against racketeer Ken Lynch. He gets a one way ticket south of the border and then Lynch's top triggerman Martin Landau after him and Eliot Ness after all of them.
Not the best story The Untouchables ever had. Why Foulger couldn't just disappear as many potential informers did is beyond me. Stack has a partner the future Ben Casey of television Vincent Edwards who gets himself captured, but proves resourceful in captivity.
He has the meatiest part, but Martin Landau as the hit-man is the best one in the story. It's the kind of part that calls for scenery chewing and Landau really chows down.
He's worth watching in this story.
