Fairly good episode, distinguished now by presence of Ted Knight as the chief bad guy. Fans of classic TV will remember Ted as the comically egotistical Ted Baxter on the old Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-77). There he stole the spotlight from the rest of an ace cast with his unforgettably clueless character. Here, he's a remorseless killer and bank robber, of all things. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it, a real tribute to his versatility.
Plot-wise-- Seems Poole (Knight) is a bank manager who stages a fogged-up robbery of his own bank. But then a confederate flees to Italy with the loot leaving Poole empty-handed. So he uses a ruse to hire Pete to track down the double-crosser. And things go from there.
Wow, I wish we saw more of cat-eyed Barbara (Lewis). She's got exotically feline features that are unforgettable. Also, Italian girl Carlotta (Roman) cuts an enchanting presence, along with the ever-seductive Edie (Albright). So guys especially, tune in. There's also some good snappy banter between Jacoby and Pete, along with the usual riveting hook. But can't say much for the phony fisticuffs of which there's more than usual. Anyhow, it's an overall entertaining 30-minutes with a solid cast line-up
