Forget about the lack of a twist ending for this story. The real surprise occurs about half way through when Cyril T. Jones (Art Carney) has to shell out a whole three dollars and fifty cents for a hotel room! At least it was a room with a view overlooking Lynch's Lunch, a favorite hangout for mobsters Big Dan Foley (Karl Davis) and Tarzan Joe Felix (James Flavin). Jonesey uses his lookout to rub out the two gangsters after they had opened fire on him for witnessing one of their murders. I guess forensics was not a big deal for the cops on this case, as the angle of trajectory and the hotel desk clerk who rented Jones the room could have made a statement that he was the guy with the gun. Better yet, they were probably willing to let well enough alone for eliminating a couple of troublesome hoodlums.
This isn't one of the better vehicles in which to catch Art Carney, who's best remembered for his role as Ed Norton in "The Honeymooners". However he does give a very poignant performance in a second season episode of The Twilight Zone titled 'The Night of the Meek'. I would recommend that one along with his 1974 feature film "Harry And Tonto". Karl Davis was know as 'Killer' whenever he put on the pro wrestling tights. He's one of a handful of guys who successfully transitioned from the wrestling ring to acting, along with one of my personal favorites, 'Iron' Mike Mazurki.
