A very noirish episode of Target: The Corruptors! Based on a story by Gene Roddenberry, starring Robert Vaughn and Robert Culp.
Paul Marino is invited by the police to a dubious gambling town run by a crooked mob led by crippled Jesse. Their tentacles that have spread from gambling to money laundering to police corruption.
Lace (Vaughn) is Jesse's smooth enforcer. He thinks police captain Meeker (Culp) is the weak link. He has a sick child and debts with his business interests. Lace could make it all go away if Meeker came over to them.
This is a strong episode of The Corruptors. Chief Swenson finds out that corruption runs deep in his own department.
Good performances from Royal Dano who likes to dance on his crutches, Michael Constantine as well as Vaughn and Culp.
