Gangster Sam Dunleavy wants to murder his ex-girlfriend, Goldie, so he has his friend Barney arrange for him the perfect alibi. Barney has it staged as though he and Sam are playing a game of poker in Barney's back room. Sam sneaks out successfully but is unable to kill Goldie when she claims she's pregnant, However when Sam returns to Barney's backroom, he is met with a big surprise.

The best thing about this episode has to be the presence of veteran actor George Mathews, he eats up the screen with his witty dialogue and rugged looks which make him come off perfectly as the 1930's gangster type. As for that there's really nothing here and all you really whined up getting is episode six "Salvage" with some different results, an added in alibi plot, and an OK ironic twist. It's not a bad episode at all and much like reviewer hitchcoc stated if your going into it not thinking to much then you'll probably enjoy it for what it is an OK episode with a strong lead actor.
