In 1953 George Raft made a syndicated TV series, I'm the Law playing a cop. The plot for this ep seemed like a reworking of a movie he'd recently made, Loan Shark, with Raft going undercover to bust a racket. Mind you Raft liked to go undercover a lot. He's investigating the murder of a dock worker and there's lots of scenes on the docks, avoiding crashing palettes and what not. There's a comic drunk and some shady women.
Raft is a good TV star - underplaying, effective. It's a shame for him the series wasn't more successful.
