synopsis
While moonlighting as a cabbie, Archie witnesses a mugging. For a variety of reasons, Archie is reluctant to come forth with his testimony -- but has no qualms about fabricating a story that the mugging was Mafia-related. This bit of prevarication places the Bunker family under the scrutiny of a suspicious-looking anti-defamation organization, headed by the sharkishly charming Mr. Ralph Sylvestri (Val Bisoglio). First telecast on January 29, 1972, "Archie Sees a Mugging" was scripted by Philip Mishkin and Don Nicholl, from a story by Henry Garson.
