Plot

Ed Novak (Perry Lopez), a two-bit bookie, goes to prison rather than squeal on his Syndicate higher-ups. Novak's silence exacts a toll on his wife Frances (Beverly Garland), who is expecting a child. The longer Novak remains in prison, the more he becomes aware that the mob has deserted him — and the more he's willing to spill what he knows. Fellow prisoner Steve Marlin (Ted de Corsia) intends to see that Novak keeps his mouth shut permanently.

Cast
gollark: I see.
gollark: Not necessarily. Knowledge degrades over time (unless you have writing/computers/etc but even then language evolves and people disagree on interpretation).
gollark: Or they'd think it was God weeding out the unworthy and want to go to prove themselves.
gollark: (until they get horrible cancer and/or radiation poisoning; I don't know if it would be bad or immediate enough that people would form the connection)
gollark: Eventually people forget the exact details and schisms occur and whatever and people go around visiting it to pray or something.
