Prodigal Son
bkoganbing2 December 2020
A version of the Prodigal Son parable is the basis for this episode. Graham Jarvis is an electrical contractor who has two sons and a daughter and is incidentally doing a major rewiring job on the police station.

Carroll O'Connor is attending a dinner where Jarvis is announcing the engagement of his daughter Robin Massey. Brother Ken Page, the good son is there also. Coming late is Justin Lazard who's the bad boy and in some deep debt to some New Orleans bookies.

Jarvis and Page have a major disagreement over whether to help the incorrigible Lazard out. It's a sad tale and it doesn't quite work out the way the biblical parable does.

David Hart has some good moments here and he's usually the good natured deputy who is a bit slow, but always eager to please. He proves not to be so dumb in this episode and that's bad for one of Jarvis's kids.
