A star witness at the trial of a mobster is murdered while in the custody of Inspector Queen's office and the finger soon points to none other than Sgt. Velie. It's up to the Inspector to get his subordinate off the hook as well as fend off criticism from his superiors that he's over the hill and relies too much on Ellery.

Episode Quotes
 
Inspector Queen: (about Murphy) Now there's a man who wants to be governor in the worst way.
 
Caesar: How do I look?
Inspector Queen: Like a man in a false moustache.
 
Velie: Listen, Caesar, I gotta guard you but I don't have to listen to any of your guff.
 
Caesar: What if I want some fresh air?
Inspector Queen: If you open a window remember that first breath may be your last.
 
Murphy: This had better be the most thorough murder investigation ever conducted by the homicide bureau.
Inspector Queen: They're all thorough!
 
Ellery: How'd he look when you found him?
Inspector Queen: Dead.
 
Velie: Inspector, I think we got a break.
Inspector Queen: We could use one.
 
Ellery: The Commissioner's your age. Nobody's saying he's over the hill.
Inspector Queen: He's not on the firing line.
 
Franks: (to Ellery) Readin' about murder--that helps me relax.
