It's like a roach motel...men check in but they never check out.

Most of the villains on "Barnaby Jones" are guys. So, it's nice to see one where there are multiple villains...and they're all women!

When the story begins, a real estate man has been trying to make contact with Jason Turner. However, every sort of lead the women at Turner's inn give him turn out to be diversions. The hope is he'll just give up and go home, apparently. But the agent is a bit dim...and he confronts the women and is soon 'disappeared'. As a result, Barnaby Jones and Jedediah get involved as they try to find this man. However, in the process it become apparent that OTHER men have disappeared and the trails all lead to the women running that place!

This is a very good episode of "Barnaby Jones" and that is a HUGE relief, as many of the later episodes of season six and many of the first episodes of season seven were just terrible....by far the worst shows of the series. Good writing and an interesting story make this one worth your time.
