    Show description

    Tyler is hired by the Department of Justice to stage the fake murder of a mob informant, Nicholas DeFranco (Jerry Orbach). DeFranco is set to testify against his former Mafia bosses and the Department of Justice is afraid he'll be killed before the trial can begin. Tyler rigs a gun with blanks and fixes DeFranco up with radio transmitters and fake blood packs to simulate bullet hits. The Department of Justice supervisor, Colonel Mason (Mason Adams), specifically asks Tyler to be the "assassin" and wear a disguise.
