The Line Up: The Hiccuping Hamster Homeostatic Case
Who are the two hit-men who murdered Luther Griswold, the mob lawyer? One suspect, Benny Samson, is identified in the police line-up. Then an informant known as "The Hamster" (played by Howard McNear) points his finger at George Vincente, a man he saw in the company of Benny on the night of the murder. As the investigation gets closer to Max Ragillo, the mob boss, Ragillo begins to retaliate: Word on the street: There is a hit out on Lt. Guthrie.
