After being briefly pre-empted by the debut telecast of Roots, Streets of San Francisco returned to the ABC prime time fold with this tense psychological drama focusing on Douglas French (Alan Fudge), a chronic alcoholic and wife-beater. Awakening from a hangover, French discovers that his wife Helen (Marlyn Mason) has disappeared. Unable to remember what happened, French is convinced along with the authorities that he has killed his wife--but the plot thickens when Stone and Robbins discover that the still-missing Helen has been carrying on a double life! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
