John Marley would return in Testimony of Evil.
Location: Moraine, IL
Episode Quotes
Allison: (to Sheriff Parker) Wait a minute, that's my liquor. You order your own.
Byron: (about Mayor Stone) I promised him trouble if he didn't get out of the race. I like to keep my promises too.
Ness: (to Allison) This type of game is played for keeps.
Waitress: What kind of drink?
Allison: You bring it. I'll drink it.
Allison: You bring it. I'll drink it.
Analysis
A rare episode where a subordinate Untouchable gets as much or more screen time as star Robert Stack. Anthony George, as Cam Allison, carries the load for the good guys here and does okay. So do John Marley as a gang henchman and Susan Cummings as a doomed fallen angel but Fred Clark is miscast as lead villain Charlie Byron. Some viewers might keep expecting George and Gracie to show up when they see Clark on-screen.
