Who Killed Wade Walker?

Episode Number: 9    Season Num: 1    First Aired: November 15, 1963    Prod Code: 5810
When millionaire Wade Walker's plane explodes mid-air, Burke confronts Walker's business partner, secretary (whom Tim has an eye for), and the four women in his life (a model and beauty pageant queen, a society horse breeder, a starchy, sex-obsessed nurse, and a nightclub singer), one of whom Walker may have proposed to just before he died. All of Burke's theories go up in smoke when it is discovered that Walker died of an overdose of morphine before the plane blew up.

Notes

If, as reported by Alex McNeil in his book Total Television, Frank Sinatra did indeed make a cameo appearence in this episode, that sequence was apparently cut when the series footage was shortened for syndication (however, so far, no one who saw the series in it's original state has reported just what Sinatra's cameo was).Ever since I got that Total Television book, I have always wondered about this "cameo" by Frank Sinatra myself. Since no one, including myself, has ever seen Frank in any version of this episode, and since it's hard to imagine him in a cameo which, if cut out, would not affect any other scene, I think it's much more plausible to assume that this was a typo or a mental error and that the intention of Alex McNeil was to print NANCY Sinatra.
