This week's episode of Martin Kane needs to be sponsored by Geritol, because the plot has iron poor blood.
An obnoxious and chronically drunk hockey player dies on the ice with what looks like a head injury, causing the team to lose the game and control of the team to be thrown to an underworld figure. But Martin Kane, P. I. thinks that the player was poisoned instead and prods the police to investigate.
This episode was rather boring with an extended "third degree" section in which ill defined characters with which we are not familiar are drilled over the dead hockey player's death.
In the one scene that actually has some life in it, tobacco store owner Happy McMann tries to repair a radio and almost burns down his store. Or, I should say, Sergeant Ross does the repair that almost burns down the store, crediting his electronics ability to his Harvard education. There certainly is some bias against the college educated in these old shows, back when a college degree was not very common.
The end of the show has William Gargan reminding people to give to the March of Dimes and he mentions polio, which will be a big problem until a vaccine is devised and released in 1955.
