A truly lousy episode, starring Sam Jaffe, of all people, as a man driven to single-minded vengeance. Supporting cast is uninteresting (for example, Lilia Skala is wasted in a nothing role, a couple of years before her "Lilies of the Field" triumph), and Burke is a day late and a dollar short for a change. The script manages to be both pretentious and stupid, with characters convenently dropping dead at writer Sy Salkowitz's whim.
It's a clunker from start to finish. The endless, "interrupted by a time out for plot exposition" climax of a foot chase is really poor, an idiotic way to wrap things up.
