Roy Donald Blake: Fugitive, Interstate Transportation in Aid of Racketeering—Gambling.
Original air date: 20 October 1968
The good inspector takes a swimming/tennis/suntanning vacation to Florida—on the FBI’s expense account. Mr. Hoover must be apoplectic when he signs Erskine’s expenses. We wonder if the inspector crossed paths with The Great One himself, Jackie Gleason. Hmmm …
Seriously, though, Inspector Erskine has to go undercover there in order to get evidence of the Costra Nostra official who ordered a murder. And the teenage girl who saw the murder is also being hunted down by the Mob.
- Daniel J. Travanti would rise to stardom in Hill Street Blues in 1981. He was on the opposite side of the law in this episode.
