Arnold Justin (Martin Balsam) is a successful and respected Chief of Detectives. Apparently, he's tired of this life and is looking for a killing...and decides to run heroin for Frank Nitti's mob. Unfortunately, when he and another scum-bag, Raeder (Joseph Ruskin) are making a deal, the feds break in and the drugs become lost. Justin spends most of the episode tracking down a carnival ride operator (Don Gordon) because either he retrieves the drugs or he's a dead man. His only chances are to either find the drugs or run to Ness and spill his guts. Which will it be, Arnold?!
This is a pretty good episode and it is interesting to see Balsam playing a violent guy--something very different from his usual characters. Well made and worth seeing.
