Who Killed What's His Name?Episode Number: 17 Season Num: 1 First Aired: January 17, 1964 Prod Code: 5840 |
When the president of a bank is shot during a robbery, the only description Burke can get of the killer is that he was "just ordinary". Burke interviews a man who passed out during the robbery, and hunts for clues with a local bookie. After the two other bank robbers are slain, Burke investigates the bank president's wife and son, his very flirtatious secretary, his business partner and his accountant, and a beautiful B-movie star. Just as Burke is about to arrest the man who shot the bank president, the killer is himself slain - but by whom? And why?
