Another fun
Mannix outing sees Joe taking on a psychopath (Darren McGavin) from his old Korean War unit who’s out for revenge. It s a kick to see McGavin playing a complete wackjob who is a karate master, walks around in 70s sideburns and safari suits and leers threateningly. Joe Mannix ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he gets there in the end, arriving at his remote cabin in the nick of time to save Peggy and her son from certain death. Just desserts are dished out, in the usual comfort TV fashion. Also with Paul Mantee and Dane Clark (who makes his second of three appearances as police Lt. Deegan).
