Review of Upbeat

77 Sunset Strip: Upbeat (1962)
Season 4, Episode 39
5/10
A little payback
5 May 2018
This story from 77 Sunset Strip picks up from a 1959 episode where Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. was the bait in an elaborate con to trap spy John Van Dreelan who worked in the Dutch Underground during World War II while Stu Bailey was with the OSS. Van Dreelan is now working for the Russians.

Van Dreelan did two years in the joint and was deported. But he's working an elaborate con game of his own to lure Robert Logan who was not part of the series back then and then to have Zimbalist go to his rescue. As in the episode in 1959 Dorothy Provine figures prominently in the proceedings.

Andrew Duggan formerly of Bourbon Street Beat who is now back with the New Orleans PD also makes a guest appearance.

Van Dreelan is who to watch in this story. He's no one's fool and in wanting some payback gets nailed once again. You have to see how.
