The plot idea for "Come and Kill Me" was pretty cool and it should have been a really good episode. However, I thought the big showdown at the end was just really dumb...like a fight out of a James Bond film and not an episode of "The Untouchables".
When the show begins, there is a very daring assassination in front of a crowd! When the authorities try to capture the guy, he's incredibly strong and a brilliant fighter--like some sort of super- ninja! The Untouchables' trail leads to, of all things, an assassin training academy run by Mr. Bayless (Dan Dailey)! Ness and his men bug the place but at the end, inexplicably, instead of bringing his men, Ness comes into the school to take down Bayless...mano a mano!!! Talk about dumb...and what follows simply isn't "The Untouchables".
By the way, when bugging the place, they hear classical music. One of Ness' men says he wishes it was Paul Whiteman. The Pault Whiteman Orchestra was a very, very popular jazz/swing band of the era and, for a while, featured Bing Crosby as their crooner.
