A priceless ruby necklase has been stolen, and the thing is soon
trailed to its fence, Nick Santos (Martin Balsam), and yet the police is
lacking hard evidence, like the necklace itself. So policewoman Casey
Jones (Beverly Garland) goes undercover as a potential buyer, and tries to
trick him into presenting her the necklace. To Casey's shock though, Nick
uses his little son Tommy (Pug Flanagan) in his fencing operation.
Eventually, Tommy screws up, above all else because he loves his father
quite as much, so before arresting Nick, Casey also has to make him
renounce his son so the boy will no longer look up to his father as a hero
and follow his footsteps but learn a decent job at his jeweller uncle
(Martin Wolfson). Rather terrible episode of Decoy: Not only is
it kow on suspense, full of clichés and incredibly cheesy, it's also not
too well-acted and the storytelling lacks a certain flow to make the whole
thing work despite the story's shortcomings.
