Performing an autopsy on a teenage prostitute who has committed suicide, Quincy (Jack Klugman)characteristically takes a personal interest in the case. It seems that the victim had been killed after seeing "Uncle Harry" (Alan Manson), the man who led her into prostituation, persuading an even younger girl to appear in a pornographic film. Taking it upon himself to break up an insidious kiddie-porn ring, Quincy simultaneously tries to save a group of runaway kids from falling into the clutches of the "Uncle Harrys" of the world. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

During a shootout between the police and escaped murder suspect Billings (Dennis Madalone), Quincy (Jack Klugman) is caught in the crossfire and seriously wounded. As Quincy hovers between life and death in a hospital bed, his boss Dr. Astin (John S. Ragin) and police lieutenant Frank Monahan (Gary Walberg) struggle to solve the case that the medical examiner had been working on--which may ultimately prove that Billings has neither killed nor wounded anyone. Highlighting this unusal episode are several cleverly assembled "Rashomon"-style flashbacks. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
