As usual with these hour long cop thrillers, the storyline is almost incidental to the ensemble effort by a jobbing cast of professionals muddling though whatever script they were given this week. This time Ralph Byrd is our eponymous detective on the trail of the great Fur Coat robbery. Could someone be expecting a bad winter; or could it be a giant insurance fraud - well "Dick" along GIRLFRIEND with "Tess" (Kay Christopher) and the usual gang of brilliantly named stalwarts are soon on the case of "The Claw". It's a fun little investigative yarn, with some good efforts all around and about as much suspense as the sun coming up in the morning...
