Veteran movie heavy Alan Baxter plays a Bugsy Siegel type criminal who does some of his own killing. He comes in and catches wife Carol Ohmart in the clutches of John Reach a nightclub owner and empties a pistol into him. Unfortunately a friend of Jacqueline Beer's the efficient French secretary at Bailey&Spencer sees Baxter as well. Ruth Douglas has good reason to fear for her life.

Of course Bailey&Spencer work full time and on the house with the LAPD in solving the killing. They also have to protect their witness and that's becoming a problem since they don't know yet who it is Douglas saw.

Nice performances from Alan Baxter and from Carol Ohmart who in this is the tramp's tramp. She likes to play it dangerously though cheating on a guy with Baxter aka Siegel's legendary temper.

A young girl arrives in L.A in order to find a job and then she is the witness of a murder. Of course she rapidly becomes the witness to be shot on sight. That's when our lead gumshoes will arrive, to save her from the gangsters who will try to get rid of her, to keep her silent, for good. Once more, excellent noir atmosphere, although some light touches from time to time, thanks to this eerie music score, the same kind you usually find in classic movies. And I keep being sure that this famous music score contributes to enhance the quality of the show. George Waggner seems to have directed many of this show episodes. I find Suzanne's - the so beautiful French secretary - character being more and more present in the show. And I like that.
