Plot Overview

Wrestler Alexander Nijinsky, alias the Strangler, collapses and dies in the ring after someone shoots him with a poison dart. Amos and his men concentrate on the five people who were sitting in special seats ringside: the dead man's wayward sister, a rival wrestler, an old lady wrestling fan, his romantic interest (a woman whom Burke knows all too well) and a 'method sportswriter'.

Trivia

The Show

Yes, Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello both appear in this episode. Unfortunately, for fans of the 'Beach Party' movies, they don't appear together except in the opening scene.
