    Rather flat Howard Duff vehicle

    The story of a man just released from jail and who is followed and then contacted by a mysterious woman who will ask him very special things to do for five grands. I expected more from this episode, especially if you compare with the other ones of the series. This letters scheme is someway a slight complicated and uninteresting to follow.
