The Dick Van Dyke Show - Episode 35 - Hustling The Hustler | Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore

Storyline
Buddy's long lost brother pays him a visit but Buddy(Morey Amsterdam) doesn't want to have anything to do with him. It seems Blackie (Phil Leeds) was not only the black sheep of the Sorrell family but also a pool shark who conned everyone out of money including Buddy. Blackie begs Buddy to believe that he has changed his old ways and is now selling real estate in South America. Buddy has been fooled too many times and tells his brother to get lost. Blackie shows up at the office again the next day but Buddy is away. Rob, not knowing Blackie's history, invites his friend's brother to the house for dinner. Blackie accepts when he finds out Rob has a pool table in the basement. After dinner Rob asks Blackie if he'd like to play a game of pool and Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) warns him that her husband is a very good player and quite the hustler. Blackie plays dumb and has Rob "remind him" how the game is played. At first Blackie suggests a modest wager but the stakes get higher as he keeps loosing. Rob protests and says he doesn't want Blackie's money but Blackie insists Rob play him for $600 to give him a chance to win back the money he is in the hole and make a profit. Rob agrees and Blackie is makes the hustle apparent to Rob just as Buddy arrives at the house and attempts to stop the game. Blackie Runs the table then tears up Robs check with a flourish saying it was the only way to prove to his brother that he had really changed.
