This might have been near the knuckle when broadcast back in the early 1960s.
There were several major celebrities playing shows in Vegas. The American public might not have been aware just what kind of people ran Vegas casinos and hotels.
Marty Alexander is a comedian who is successful in Vegas. He is in hock to the mob because he once ran up a big tax bill.
The mob have made him successful. They take half his earnings, the rest go in expenses to protect him from the tax man.
The clever money laundering operation is at risk because Marty wants out. He has fallen in love with Hank Rossi (Suzanne Pleshette.)
Paul Marino has already sent in Jack Flood in advance as a gag writer for Marty. He is well aware of the trouble Marty is in.
Delaney is Marty's handler and is in no mood to let this golden goose go.
The episode benefits in having real life funny men Joey Forman and Jack Oakie in the cast.
At one point it seems Mariono might be in too deep. A good episode that highlighted just how crooked Vegas was back in that era.
