Not long after a close friend of Sgt. Ed Brown (Don Galloway) disappears, the friend's abandoned fishing boat, "The Dancing Doll", washes up on shore--bearing traces of blood and gunfire. The authorities conclude that the missing friend was somehow connected with a mob hit, which in turn is tied in with a gangster's convention being held in San Francisco. Though Ironside (Raymond Burr) warns Ed to stay off the case lest he let his heart rule his head, it is the Chief who ends up putting the pieces of the puzzle together. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
