26 Jan 60
Jean Byron, Martha Keel,
Donald Woods, Paul Keel,
Jack Albertson, Larry,
Kem Dibbs, Eddie O'Shea,
Thomas B. Henry, Inspector,
Jack Kruschen, Capitaz,
Thomas Newman, Lt. Conrad,
Synopsis:
Paul Keel's testimony sends gangsters Eddie O'Shea to jail.
Synopsis 2:
Gangster Eddie O'Shea is released from jail and he's after the man whose testimony put him there.
Synopsis by: The Classic TV Archive
Premise:
Exploits of "The Undercover Agent" - Nick Stone as he attempts to infiltrate and expose the ranks of organized crime.
The series was a hit but was dropped due to pressure and complaints about excessive violence. For syndication however they cleaned it up alot and it lost the edge of the original showing. His character was assigned the task of infiltrating organized crime as an undercover agent. The catch and
storyline for added suspense was that many of the police units he helped did not know he was a planted agent, requiring him to dodge bullets from both sides. As an added gimmick he wore a gun up front but had a hidden one holstered sideways on the back of his belt with the result being any time he was frisked for a weapon, they always quit the search after the first weapon was found, leaving his character still armed for the final showdown.
