Synopsis

Cain's Hundred follows the life of Nicholas Cain (Peter Mark Richman), a former lawyer for the mob. After becoming engaged to be married, Cain decides to leave his life of crime. His departure from the underworld, however, prompts a mob boss to put out a "hit" on him, but the gunman misses Cain and mistakenly kills his fiancée Stella (portrayed by actress Carol Rossen). Seeking revenge, Cain then teams up with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to find and bring 100 mobsters to justice.

The series aired opposite The Garry Moore Show, a variety show that aired on CBS.
