Ace Crawford, Private Eye
S1E4
The Microchip Caper

Tuesday, 5th April 1983
 8:00 pm CBS



Ace is hired by an insurance company to prove the security measures protecting a valauble microchip. Or so he thinks.

Probably the best episode of this short-lived series, with a decent script and some clever bits, marred by Ace's disguise as a Japanese businessman, which is about as offensive as Mickey Rooney's landlord in Breakfast at Tiffanys.

An amusing oddity: early in the episode an extra is buzzed in with the throwaway line "Good morning, Mr. Phelps," while the actual microchip theft closely anticpates the wire heist scene in Mission Impossible (1996).
