Synopsis of McCloud: Season 05

McCloud enters its fifth season as a stalwart component of the weekly anthology The NBC Sunday Mystery Movie, this year appearing in rotation with Columbo, McMillan and Wife, and Amy Prentiss. Nine episodes are offered this season rather than the usual five; and as a bonus, each episode runs a full two hours, briefly abandoning the series' previous 90-minute length. The opening episode is "The Barefoot Girls of Bleecker Street," in which New Mexico lawman Sam McCloud (Dennis Weaver), on "temporary" assignment in New York City, interrupts an ongoing robbery investigation to help a runaway unwed mother and her baby. Next up is "The Gang That Stole Manhattan," in which a team of clever crooks pretends to be filming a movie on location in New York as a cover for an intricately plotted robbery. In "Shivaree on Delancy Street," McCloud's police-sergeant friend Broadhurst (Terry Carter) is accused of being involved in a numbers racket, compelling Sam to go witness-hunting in Miami. Assigned to the NYPD mounted unit in "The 42nd Street Cavalry," unrefined cowboy McCloud marshals his "troops" to ride down a band of dangerous militants. In "The Concrete Jungle Caper," Sam goes undercover as a convict to trap an international drug dealer. In "The Man With the Golden Hat," someone is determined to steal McCloud's precious Stetson -- and he wants to know why. "Lady on the Run" takes McCloud to Mexico City to prevents a vengeful woman with murder on her mind from being murdered herself, "Sharks!" finds the cops following the wrong trail while tracking down some murderous loan sharks. And in the season's last offering, "Return to the Alamo," McCloud's journalist girlfriend Chris Coughlin (Diana Muldaur) returns to the Big Apple just as all hell breaks loose, with McCloud, subbing for an ailing Chief Clifford (J.D. Cannon), taking desperate measures to save the life of a drug-addicted newborn infant -- and to prevent a group of "peace" activists from blowing up the whole city! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
