In a rare hard-boiled monologue from the otherwise taciturn Eliot Ness, he dresses Frank O’Dean down despite being held at gunpoint. An engrossing, action-packed hour filled with great performances by Robert Stack and Harry Guardino, "One-Armed Bandits" is also one of the program’s most successful endeavors at humanizing Ness and adding shades of gray to its heavies. O’Dean is remorseful and conflicted and Ness is charitable and compassionate without losing his edge. The sense of history between Ness and O’Dean is well characterized and supporting characters like Julian Glass add to pathos to the proceedings.
