Plot Overview

Snooky Martinelli is a dead ringer for Captain Amos Burke...but the emphasis is on the word 'dead'. He's shot and killed during a wild party at his beach house, and Burke must deal with his goofy friends, all of whom can't help but react to the resemblance between him and Martinelli.

Memorable Moments

Tough guy Broderick Crawford plays a boxer in this episode...who's fond of getting manicures and pedicures, and even has his hair in rollers!

Just like his character in the Dick Van Dyke Show, Alan Brady, Carl Reiner's character in this episode is obsessed with wearing a wig to cover his bald head...and just like Brady, Binky Fawcett has a collection of wigs.

Quotes

"Always take material witness to dinner...Burke's Law"--Burke takes the fetching Seraphim Parks (Janice Rule), who invites herself into his mansion, out for dinner.
