"The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" opening screen.	Chuck's episode is "Memo from Purgatory".

L to R: Ski (Chuck), Phil (Caan) & Tiger (Koenig).	"Tiger" (Walter Koenig) decides on the punishment that will be forced upon Phil (Caan). Chuck is against the brick wall.

Phil (Caan) is told that he will lead the Barons in a street fight with an empty gun.	Ski (Chuck) on the right, smiling after learning of what will happen to Phil (Caan).

Ski (Chuck Courtney) right behind Phil (James Caan).	Ending credits of "MEMO FROM PURGATORY" showing Chuck's role of Ski.

An interesting episode with Chuck playing the part of a member of a New York street gang called the Barons. James Caan is the
star of the episode, as a writer who wants to become a Barons gang member, so he can write about his experience. Walter Koenig of
Star Trek fame, is the leader of the Barons. I caught this episode from watching the RTN (Retro Television Network) and hope you
get a chance to view this episode.
