Eddie Slade (Paul Richards) is a hood with plans of making a big killing...though right now, his 'friends' want nothing to do with him. Eddie's girl, Penelope (Laura Devon), is gorgeous but simple- minded...and Eddie likes her that way. But Penelope wants to improve herself, as she has little in the way of education and is embarrassed by this. Seeing how well cultured and educated Jack (actually, Richard Kimble in his latest alter ego) is, she longs to pick up on some of his fine ways. So, she convinces him to improve her mind and manners in order to make her proud not just of who she is outside but inside as well. All the while, a very nosy guy (Wayne Rogers) seems to be keeping an eye on her...or perhaps Kimble. Who is he and what is going on with him?
I noticed that the summary makes reference to "Pygmalion" with Professor Higgens and Liza Doolittle. While this is appropriate, an even more appropriate comparison is this episode with the movie "Born Yesterday". In fact, it's an obvious re-working of this film in many, many ways...as both are about a pretty trophy girlfriend who learns refinement and manners...to the consternation of the mobster boyfriend. Regardless, the story is very interesting and well worth watching.
