Steam Bath & Chicken Little قسمت ۱

Syndicate boss Mr. Devere, along with Wendell, Norton and Joseph, pull up in a long, black car and go to a Turkish-bath steam room (the same kind Frank Nitti went to in the ""Untouchables"" episode # 102, ""The Speculator"" Jan. 1963). Mr. Devere says, ""This was an excellent choice, Norton, now we can relax and we can conduct our business in complete privacy."" Unbeknownst to them, Buddy Overstreet is also in the steam room; when he hears them discuss murder, Buddy hides behind some towels, it's very foggy in the steam room. Mr. Devere tells Joseph he will have to rub out McGregor. When Joseph says, ""But he's like a brother to me,"" Devere reminds him, ""He IS your brother."" (laugh track) Devere insists McGregor is the only one alive who can link the 4 of them together-- that would be the end of the Syndicate; and McGregor had mentioned ""Chicken Little."" Devere impresses on them that ""What has been said here today must remain a secret between the 4 of us: you, you, you, me..."" (points to

Wild, Wild Wake قسمت ۲

While Buddy is hitchhiking through Midville, Kansas (population 187), kindly Sheriff Len Rhodes tells Buddy they have laws against hitchhiking and vagrancy. When Buddy sees 2 of Mr. D.'s boys driving by, and they stop their car, Buddy asks the sheriff to arrest him. At the jailhouse, the only ""information"" the sheriff can get from Buddy is his pseudonym this week: Chester Sweet.

Win, Place and Die قسمت ۳

Buddy is disguised as a Boy Scout, and even though he sticks out like a sore thumb as the tallest scout in the troop, Wendell and his henchman walk right by Buddy without recognizing him. In the parking lot, there is a pickup truck pulling a horse trailer; Buddy jumps in back with the race horse, and then the pickup truck drives away. Wendell worries, ""How are we going to explain losing him this time?"" Henchman says, ""Oh no, not 'we'. It wasn't me who called Mr. D. and guaranteed we'd nail him."" And so Wendell has to go back to the Syndicate headquarters and face Mr. Devere. Mr. D. makes Wendell apologize to everyone in the Syndicate via closed-circuit television. Wendell has to read a cue card (which has a hyphenated word): ""I just want to say that I am truly sorry for my inexcusable stup-idity."" Wendell reads, ""I am truly sorry for my inexcusable stup. Idity."" (laugh track) Buddy winds up in California, on a ranch that trains race horses. During the trip, Buddy has become goods frien

Down on the Farm قسمت ۴

At the Devere Enterprises skyscraper in New York, Mr. D. announces a new plan to get Buddy Overstreet. Over his closed-circuit TV broadcasts, he announces an incentive program: great prizes like a color TV and a trip to Hawaii for the employee who finds Buddy Overstreet. Meanwhile, in Kansas, Buddy has fallen asleep on the back of a farm truck he'd snuck on. The owner of the truck and the farm, Carl Jensen, says he could use a farmhand. Buddy, seeing a sign that says ""Strawberry"" picks the pseudonym Berry Straw for this week. Livening the plot is Carl's 24-year-old granddaughter Betsy, who is a bit of a tomboy. Betsy and Buddy do the farm chores together: when they are bailing hay, Buddy's pitchfork slips out of his hands and punctures the tractor's tire; when they carry crates, Buddy isn't strong enough to lift his onto the truck, and Betsy has to do it for him; when they are chopping firewood, Buddy's axe gets stuck in the log. The Jensen's former farmhand, Ben Pearson (about 6'

Grand Mexican Hotel قسمت ۵

Buddy has finally made it to Mexico. He stops at the ""Hotel de Puerto Grande""-- Puerto Grande is a small, poor town: nobody stays there, people only drive through on their way to Mexico City. Buddy is broke, but for $3 he gets a hotel room; the kindly proprietor Jose tells Buddy that for $3 he can stay until another guest needs his room-- in other words, as long as he likes. Jose's wife is just called Mama; they have a son Pepe around 12, and a very beautiful daughter Rosita in her early 20s. Buddy suggests that they can attract tourists by putting out fliers saying they have fiestas there. Buddy writes brochures and gets them printed; Pepe distributes them all over town. By sheer coincidence, Mr. D., Junior and Wendell are driving to a business meeting in Mexico City. Like others, they are driving through Puerto Grande. But since the meeting isn't for a couple of days, Junior suggests they check into the local hotel: he just saw a flier advertising their ""famous"" fiestas. Buddy
