Ruta is wonderful as this innocent framed by a despicable thief who took money from the company they worked. However, while on the run, a Fran Discoll pulls a gun on her, there is a crash, and then an insurance investigator comes a calling wanting letters for a senator to keep from the public involving a pregnancy and sordid details. The problem I had with the episode isn't the murdered investigator and his marital problems, the senator and his attempts to conceal his son's affairs, or even Mildred's 38 cents case to help get her out of a murder wrap regarding defending herself with an icepick against the investigator. It was about that dirtbag who left her to be involved in embezzlement when she was never in the wrong. I just always felt what drug Mildred into the whole mess could have been cleared up much earlier. Instead, the louse who left Mildred in such bad shape is never addressed as he should have been.
