THE BETRAYAL
Original Airdate: Feb. 3, 1974
Synopsis. Frankie Geller (played by Michael Tolan) had close ties to the Pittsburgh arm of the syndicate, but was never a “made” man. Nevertheless, local kingpin Iron Mike Slovich (played by Emile Meyer) assured Geller that the mob would send his family $1,000 a month if Frankie took the rap on federal charges. After Slovich stepped down, however, the new crime boss, Gerald Price (played by Robert Quarry), refused to honor that promise. After learning that his wife committed suicide, Geller breaks out of federal prison and tries to bring down the entire organization by publishing a book that would name names and reveal secrets. When Price puts a contract out on Geller, Erskine must locate the fugitive before he is exterminated.
