130. Tug-Of-War

Barry Nelson, left, and Michele Carey.

Aaron Taylor, Milo Pike: Organized Crime—Interstate Transportation of Stolen Property—Major Theft—Murder.

Original air date: 28 December 1969
Rerun 26 April 1970

The final episode of The FBI for the 1960s is a skirmish between the Feds and the Mafia, who are involved in a shakedown scheme. The episode starts with an attempted murder scene in a car wash. The victim is shoved into a car and shot. The car then travels thru a carwash and the carwash attendant finds the victim when he is drying the car.

Michele Carey plays a lady who attaches herself to unsuspecting businessmen, and then uses blackmail to get stocks and bonds from them, with the help of her hoodlum boyfriend, played by Don Gordon. Ms. Carey is pictured above with victim Val Palmer, played by Barry Nelson. Palmer is a widower starving for love, and has fallen for the Carey character. Ms. Carey, who started as a model, bears a striking resemblance to the Mexican actress and singer Veronica Castro.

Robert McQueeney, who plays the shooting victim, starred with William Reynolds in the 1962-63 World War II series The Gallant Men. McQueeney spent the last 20 years of his life as a Catholic priest until his death in 2002.
