A young Liam Neeson appears in the second episode, playing Charlie in the thriller, Charlie Was a Rich Man, about a college student (Phil Kernot) who finds an interesting hobby after being assaulted in his own neighborhood. The season ends with a crime thriller adaptation from a Jody McBride novel. In this installment, an older gentleman (Cecil Humphreys) looks for his wife's killer (George Irving) after police ignore his pleas for help.
