TightropeFirst Aired in 1959 Mike Connors character was assigned the task of infiltrating organized crime as an undercover agent.So his character's name Nick Stone wasn't used and he went as Nick only. The catch and storyline for added suspense was that many of the police units he helped did not know he was a planted agent, requiring him to dodge bullets from both sides. As an added gimmick he wore a gun up front but had a hidden one holstered sideways on the back of his belt with the result being any time he was frisked for a weapon, they always quit the search after the first weapon was found, leaving his character still armed for the final showdown. Although the series was a hit, it was dropped due to pressure and complaints about excessive violence. For syndication however they cleaned it up alot and it lost the edge of the original showing.
