I warn you, don't expect any action packed sequences here, in this story about a disappearance. A wealthy man's wife is missing and our lead detective investigates. Is it an abduction or another matter of insurance swindle where her husband would be the beneficiary? Or anything else? It looks more like a Sherlock Holmes or a Columbo scheme than an ordinary Baretta one. That's not the episode I like the most, so far in the series, but that changes from the other ones. No evils guys, psychopaths or gangsters Not bad anyway. With a good ending surprise. For clue searching buffs mainly. Directed by Jerry London, a TV vet director.

Mike Parsons is a DA who is worried that his sister in law Mary is missing. He calls in Baretta who is an old friend.
The husband George Parsons who lives in a well heeled side of town is less worried. Mary is known to disappear suddenly.
The stable master Eric Metz takes Mary's disappearance badly.
The police thinks that there is a rapist at loose who is abducting women. Baretta goes undercover in drag but finds himself in a dead end, later so does Metz.
Baretta thinks George might have killed his wife as he had gambling debts and needed her life insurance money.
A slightly different type of episode serves as a first season finale. It is more wistful and bittersweet.
There is an element of Kane and Abel in this episode, a good brother and a bad one. I noted both Michael Murphy and Granville Van Dusen could pass as brothers.
