Sword of Justice Calling Card - Trademark message of Jack Cole (Dack Rambo), a millionaire ex-con who avenged white collar crime on the adventure SWORD OF JUSTICE/NBC/1978-79.

The number three represented the amount of years Jack was wrongfully imprisoned.

Judge:	This court finds Jack Martin Cole guilty of 25 counts of embezzlement.
Jack Cole:	That is an absolute lie! Those criminals framed me for something I didn't do. I'll pay them back for every single day of those three long years. They say this place (Prison) is like a college, well I want to go to school.

Convict 2:	You never know when precision acrobatics well come in handy.
Convict 3:	Any lock can be picked, if you have the right tools and the right touch.
