Probably the weirdest case of not giving credit here, none of the robbers, or rather the actors who play them, are credited, only the square-jawed leader, husband of the classy woman who sleeps with Regan and becomes his "snout" and it's one of those episodes where Devil-brows himself becomes a sex symbol, and not entirely bad but, like many later episodes, a bit filler.

Lady Luck
Prismark1018 November 2021
Lady Luck is such a lacklustre episode. It all points to a story that is only there as a filler.
Philip Edmunds is apparently a reformed gangster. While having dinner with a retired colonel and his wife. Philip pretends to go down his cellar for some wine.
Instead he has headed down to rob a bookmaker and guaranteeing himself an alibi. Philip is shopped by his own wife who is now bored off him. A witness also identifies Philip.
Regan needs to break his alibi. Even a fast car cannot manage to get from Philip's house to the bookies and back in time for dessert.
One might say; How about a motorcycle Regan? The idea eventually comes to him.
Dull and shoddy. Did the retired colonel not think that Phillip was away in the cellar for a long time looking for some wine?

Terrible lacklustre episode

So the wife of a villain has become bored and wants to get rid of said husband but not lose the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed - but what can she do?
She becomes Reagan's informant with a bit of nookie on the side in the hope that Jack and Co can call her dodgy spouse and put in behind bars while she can continue enjoying the luxuries of his villainous ways.
It all comes to nothing because the only witness witness is a little old lady, who is viciously beaten by the gang leader and then identifies him in a line-up (since when did villains line up in a hospital ward?) subsequently pops her clogs. The fact that the poor old dear was in hospital due to the injuries received after the vicious clout by the villain is deemed of no consequence to her subsequent demise?
