8/10

The sort of plots Loggia did so well.

Jimmy French (Robert Loggia) is a real sleazebag. First, he cozies up to a lonely secretary and gets her to fall for him. Second, he convinces her to bring him her boss' files so that he can get material to blackmail the psychiatrist's patients! The first one he approaches is a guy whose initials are M. J. H....and much of the episode centers on Jimmy trying to extort $10,000 from the poor guy. What's next? See the show for the unexpected plot twist.

Fortunately, while Jimmy is a thoroughly disgusting individual, he does get his and the ending offers a nice twist. Well worth your time....as Loggia is great playing an absolutely awful man!
