Half Nelson: Nose Job (1985)

This Joe Pesci detective series ran for about 7 weeks.

In this episode Mary Margaret Humes plays "April", an actress in a Charlie's Angels type series, who is being stalked by an unknown assailant.

Here April is filming a scene for her show. She is tied to a chair with a fake bomb ticking away at her side.

At this point the director yells cut so April can be replaced by a dummy for the explosion scene.

As the film crew backs off to film the explosion, the director brings in the dummy to replace April. Unfortunately for her, he is the guy who's stalking her.

While tightening her gag he tells her that the bomb is real.

Half Pint, uh Nelson to the rescue.

He grabs the bomb and runs out, leaving April bound and gagged.

Strangely this the last shot of her in the episode so for all we know she is still tied up in that abandoned building. Up Next: June Chadwick
