I just bought the fifth season really for this episode. However, my memory of how this ends was much different then I remember. I originally thought that Steve McQueen got to the ninth try OK, but on the tenth light of the cigarette lighter just as he is about to strike the lighter, the hotel door opens and he's not able to light the lighter. In the end, the woman who is married to Peter Lorre shows her arm having 11 fingers for the amount of the 11 cars lost. In the show you only see two fingers and Steve only gets to seven tries with the lighter. The build up somehow drops off as the ending comes into play. Maybe I thought of a remake of this show somewhere over time but I can't quite remember because it hasn't shown on TV for many many years. Maybe someone can help me out with what I remember?
