THE TUNNEL
Original Airdate: Apr. 21, 1968
Synopsis. Ray Pike (played by Charles Aidman) arranges for Bill Hollis (Edward Binns) and Gene Waring (Scott Marlowe) to break out of a state prison in Bend, Oregon and rendezvous with him in New York City. Pike needs Hollis’ expertise in tunneling as part of an elaborate scheme to rob a bank located in the New York Stock Exchange building of $15 million. When Waring dies from a cave-in just before the tunnel is complete, Pike wants to call off the job, but Hollis insists that they continue. Not only that, but Hollis wants Pike to eliminate Waring’s girlfriend (Joanna Moore) as a measure of insurance. What neither man realizes is that a tip from a third fugitive, Gerald Spain (Paul Mantee), has put Erskine and Colby on their trail.
