Wow....Ralph is a real jerk!
planktonrules21 August 2020
When the story begins, a man traveling by RV is stopped by a security guard on a motorcycle. Everything seems pretty routine, as the officer gives the driver a note...but suddenly, the 'officer' shoots the driver and then steals something in the back of the RV. But the driver, though mortally wounded, is able to shoot the man as he flees the scene.

Ralph (Jeffrey Hunter) is now bleeding badly and in need of help, so he goes to the home of an army buddy. The buddy is a trained medic...and he patches up Ralph. Now you'd THINK Ralph would be a grateful man...but he's an evil commie spy and is willing to kill ANYONE in order to complete his mission. Can the FBI find Ralph before he kills again? And, can they recover the top secret item he stole?

In addition to Hunter, the episode also stars Richard Anderson, Cicely Tyson and Al Freeman Jr....and Freeman, in particular, is very good in the show...and much of it is due to his character being written so well. An interesting and enjoyable episode.

Cicily Tyson's Performance was Worthy of an Emmy
GravediggerMark19 February 2024
While Jeffrey Hunter does a good job of portraying a man who threatens the friends who helped him in his time of need, Al Freeman Jr does an excellent job of showing just how annoyed he is at Hunter's character for the act of betrayal.

But, the award must go to Cicily Tyson for one of the best facial expressions I have seen on any TV show ever. Before she says anything, you can see her face go from joy to anger to disgust to utter contempt. And then, when she does speak, watch out! Her delivery of the words are short and to the point; the tone tells us, in no uncertain terms, just how she feels- without overacting.

I have seen some great guest star acting in many TV shows, but if I was in charge back then, I would have called this an Emmy winning performance. Cicily has gone up many notches in my book.
