He was still credited as Bill Smith, a name he used until another actor who had been using William Smith relinquished it.  We have only one episode.  In style, the show wasn't much different than the failed Asphalt Jungle and Bill's character didn't have any more color or personality.  We could have told 'em.  Bill needed a Western.

Nigel Patrick & William Smith As Airport Security or Detectives or some such that lets them solve international crimes.

Archie Vance has an idea for "helping" his friend Cecil collect on a fortune without risking a murder rap.  He plans to ship a body to London and pass it off as the body of Cecil's rich uncle Sir Philip Humbolt.  The body he picks is a gangster, Happy Jack Fenderson.

In New York, Archie goes body shopping.  In London, Air Security is warned by "the New York boys" that Archie and Ziggy on are their way to pay a visit to London.

 Chief of "Air Security" Alan Garnett's assistant Jimmy Delaney brings him the bad news that known crook Archie Vance is arriving from New York with his buddy Ziggy.  Garnett hauls them into his office just to let them know he's suspicious and then directs Jimmy to escort them off the premises.

Garnett summons Archie & Ziggy and then has Jimmy get rid of them.

Archie shares the details of the plot with Cecil and Ziggy.  Ziggy will administer knock-out drops to Uncle Philip so that he can be placed in a coffin long enough to be identified.  Then Happy Jack's body will be buried.  However, when they pick up the body, a news reporter hears the name Philip Humbolt and Garnett hears about the pick up from the executor of the estate who was called by the reporter.  He reports that Humbolt lived in utter seclusion.  Jimmy and Garnett look for Cecil's whereabouts so they can locate the body for identification.

Archie finds that Humbolt is living under the name Bertie Anderson at a London flop house.  He sends the none-too-bright Ziggy to administer the mickey.  He puts it into a cup of tea and then gets confused as to which cup is drugged.  When Humbolt does collapse, Archie comes to the flop house posing as a doctor and pronounces him dead in front of several flop house denizens..

At the funeral home, Humbolt is switched for Happy Jack's body long enough for the identification by the solicitor.  Humbolt starts to wake up after the solicitor leaves but just in time for Garnett's arrival with the police.  He discovered at the passport office that Humbolt aka Anderson, never left the country and could not have died in New York.

In the end, the bad guys end up in prison and Jimmy (Bill) gets to accompany Happy Jack's body back to New York.   As a comic final note, Archie sends Garnett  and JImmy a post card from prison with a "Wish you were here" message.

NiteOwl Review:  We give this episode a B+ for plot and C- for execution.  Bill didn't really have much to do here but act as errand boy for Nigel Patrick.  There was no real action, assuming this episode was typical.  The plot itself was somewhat quirky and inventive as written but slow in execution.  We were thrilled to get this episode and also thrilled that, although we would, of course, welcome a chance to acquire more episodes, one tells us it's not a pressing priority.  Bill was not particularly happy with his acting at this time in his career and we would have to agree that he did get much better later.  He also wasn't happy with his acting in Laredo.  Although we do think he was better in Wildside than Laredo, we dispute his self-deprecation in regards to the latter as that's where most of us adopted him as a childhood or high school hero.

Thank you so much to ELYSE FRADKIN for sending us the reel to have transferred to video.
