This episode was certainly relevant for our times. It dealt with elected officials being blackmailed for past indiscretions, whether major or just plain cheating on a college exam 20 years before.
As a result, Sgt. John Schuck goes under cover to work for an agency under suspicion for doing the blackmailing. He supposedly leaves the force and is even given a luncheon in his honor. This situation is really kept quiet so that McMillan's wife doesn't even know what is going on. She is always a real confidant to her husband, Rock Hudson, the police commissioner.
It was never entirely clear if the entire agency was under investigation or just certain individuals.
As Mildred, the McMillan cook, Nancy Walker, with her red pony-tail is rather subdued here.
