Smiley Barris (Frank Sutton) is wanted by the authorities...therefore he's a liability to Joe Kulak as he's worried that he might spill his guts. Barris swears he won't...but the mob isn't about to take any chances and even make an attempt on his life in jail. When his old friend Johnny Templar (Harry Guardino) helps him make bail, he immediately heads to California to be with him. However, Templar is in a tough spot, as the folks who put a contract out on Smiley know that he's been to Johnny's gambling boat. They give Johnny a choice...kill his friend or they'll kill not only Smiley but him and his fiancée (Gloria Talbott). His fiancée is horrified, as Johnny promised he was going straight...but can anyone just quit the mobs and go straight?!
This was a pretty good episode. Two things that made it so was the very vicious hit-man as well as the tough as nails ending. Well worth seeing.
