Kolchak: The Night Stalker

Kolchak begins the episode by recalling the mysterious deaths of two players in the current senatorial race in Illinois. He runs to an office building to interview Robert Palmer, popular in the current race for senator. Palmer and his campaign manager are having an argument about Palmer's crooked ways when they step on an elevator. Then, the elevator drops about forty floors all the way to the basement. This is one of the episodes where Kolchak is at the scene when it happens. When the maintenance men open the elevators, the only thing alive is a giant black dog wearing a strange necklace. The dog jumps Kolchak when he takes a picture of it, and he snatches the necklace just as the dog runs away. This dog seems to follow Kolchak around while he has the necklace. Meanwhile, Emily Cowles, another employee comes back from her vacation in Rome. Kolchak works hard to get the Palmer interview. At the Palmer house, Kolchak gets attacked by the same dog who takes back the necklace. While there, he sees Palmer, who says that he had been in a depression and couldn't give Kolchak an interview. After other death's involving the dog and another senatorial candidate, Kolchak does research and discovers that Palmer has sold his soul to the devil for political success and evil powers. Kolchak, armed with Miss Emily's holy water, goes to Palmer's house to confront him. Palmer offers Kolchak power and success like he has, but good old Kolchak dosen't waver. After destroying Palmer's pentagram necklace, while Palmer is in dog form, Palmer is apparently trapped with the mind of a normal dog forever. This is a very exciting episode. Kolchak is the uncorriptible hero who clearly believes in God. However, I don't believe that water blessed by the Pope can do anything.
