The Escape Artist (US)
The young and self-confident Danny bluffs at the local police-station that he will escape from prison within an hour. What follows is a flashback showing his childhood with his uncle and aunt, who are 'vaudeville'-artists themselves.

Tonight in 1959 — THE UNTOUCHABLES w/ #RobertStack debuted on CBS’s DESILU PLAYHOUSE (hosted by #DesiArnaz).
CBS rejected the series, so Lucy and Desi sold it to ABC.
