Ricardo Montalban, A Martinez, Pedro Armendáriz Jr. Very few things to like in this episode. The location and slow pace prove to be a major distraction to enjoyment. The script contrives a way to have our hero working in Mexico that never really rings true. And he shares very few scenes with the murderer, which is a shame because Montalban is excellent in the role. The resolution is unsatisfying. As motives go, this is a weak one. 5/10
