Fun to see Jacqueline Beer in a good role

At one point in the story, Jacqueline is trying on hats in a fancy department store. The hats vary a lot, but there is one constant: Jacqueline looks stunning in all of them! In addition to that, she gets a lot of screen time in this episode, which is a pleasure for fans of the show.

Exciting

I won't repeat the topic already told in the plot line. You have understood that it's a robbery tale and a very ingenious one, folks. And where the gorgeous Suzanne is involved. This episode is tight, sharp as a knife, full of suspense. No investigation here, it's really a heist story, with a good noir atmosphere and supported by a solid acting and characterization. In this kind of scheme, we are always on the robber's side, not the good detectives' one. At least I feel this way. Among the best of the second season so far. Directed by Herb Strock, known for grade B science fiction movies but also as a TV director.

Look out for the young Warren Oates in one of his earliest appearances.

No investigative skill involved
bkoganbing21 March 2017
Warner Brothers got to exhibit two of their television stars from their Roaring Twenties series in this 77 Sunset Strip episode. Rex Reason as the leader of a gang of jewel thieves and Donald May who was a top college basketball star until he took Reason's bribes for point shaving are part of the guest cast. So is Warren Oates as another gang member.

It's actually a pretty good caper the crooks have figured out, but there is always the unexpected. One of these is a most determined Jacqueline Beer who took in a fashion show at Damian O'Flynn's boutique where the models wore the jewels where she left the present she bought Roger Smith for his birthday.

No investigative skill involved for the Spencer part of the Bailey&Spencer agency. Just a missing French switchboard operator and sometime operative gone missing that uncovers the deed.

Still Roger Smith and the team are up to the challenge.
