- Quotes
Cap: Hey, what's happened? Nobody come down to the boat.
Wexler: Shut up, Cap.
Cap: Yeah, but you guys said...
Lonnie: Cap! Later
Wexler: The word is that that Mannix is nobody to fool around with, so we got to move fast.
Chili Dog: How?
Wexler: Well, we'll use the same plan we had for Diana: kill her, dump her off Cap's boat. Lonnie, I'd, uh, I'd like you to take care of that for me.
Lonnie: Me?
Wexler: I need somebody I can depend on. Besides... you have a... way with women.
[chuckles]
Cap: Fog's coming in now, though. You're gonna have to wait for it to lift.
Wexler: Of all the boats in the marina, you have to have one with a busted radar!
Cap: Still ain't no better boat on the coast! You can ask anyone!
Wexler: All right. All right! Wait. Just let me know when it's over. Lonnie... this time, no mistakes.
Chili Dog: Lonnie, about the foul-up, I really feel bad.
Lonnie: Get lost.

My only arguement is that Joe should have had Peggy packing a gun right from the start. Or... how about joining him in a karate class?
Gail Fisher, as always, does a fine job with what comes her way. Peggy is mistaken for an informant, involved with some extremely desperate (ie: homicidal) characters. The OTHER woman is played by Kim Hamilton, making her third appearance on the show. Kim originally wanted to be a model, and certainly had the looks. She hit some milestones in Hollywood as the first black actress to appear on two prime soaps operas; DAYS OF OUR LIVES and GENERAL HOSPITAL. Kim rose to become a very respected actress, enormously popular.
Applause for Lincoln Kilpatrick (who plays Lennie), another distinguished actor who appeared in dozens of crime shows. Legendary singer Billie Holiday urged him to become an actor. Eddie Firestone, usually in offbeat roles, plays Cap. Ward Wood again holds down the fort.
For all us trivia buffs, this episode was also in a 1975 paperback issue. There are still some of the old Mannix paperback books out there for sale, and in good condition. Shop around.
Despite the all too familiar plot, this is well written and owes a lot to the talents of Kim Hamilton. Watch this fine actress. SEASON 8 EPISODE 4 CBS dvd box set. Note: The last season of MANNIX is always on sale and you can pick it up for a good price.
