When the story begins, a Eastern European spies are meeting in a New York City restaurant. An anti-communist from the same nation arrives to stop the meeting and soon there's a shootout--one commie is dead as is the anti-communist. Agent Istvan Sladek managed to shoot his enemy and get shot in the process. Soon the FBI arrives and they attempt to find Sladek before he's able to give a list of agents within his communist country to his handlers.
A monkeywrench to all this is Sladek's girlfriend (Suzanne Pleshette). She adores him and cannot imagine he's a spy. And, when Erskine and Rhodes visit her, she's surprisingly open about loving Sladek. What's she going to do when she learns that he's not just a spy but a murderer? See the show and find out for yourself.
I appreciated this episode because the girlfriend does NOT follow the usual formula you'd expect in such a show. Not a great episode but a very good one.
