Chasing after a known murderer, Tony Penner (Peter Virgo Jr.), a member of a neighborhood vigilante group, fires into a darkened warehouse--and ends up killing an innocent bystander. Although Quincy can understand the frustrations which have led to "mob rule" in the streets of LA, he insists that the forensic evidence be used to prosecute Penner. Meanwhile, Tony's fellow vigilantes, feeling betrayed by the authorities, prepare to exact a terrible revenge against the fugitive murderer. Originally scheduled to air on April 8, 1981, this is the final episode of Quincy, M.E.'s sixth season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The short-lived roller-disco craze of the late 1970s served as inspiration for this dated comedy, which follows the patrons of a popular roller-disco palace as they prepare for a major race. Naturally, the climactic showdown features a wholesome, upright hero (Greg Bradford) facing the fearsome challenge of a leather-clad villain (a pre-fame Patrick Swayze). ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Robby Benson went from journeyman juvenile player to full-fledged star in 1973's Jeremy. Benson plays the titular 15-year-old musician who falls in love with fellow high schooler Susan (Glynnis O'Connor), an aspiring dancer; he is supported throughout the relationship by two loving, understanding parents. Director Arthur Barron's stylistic flourishes (such as shifting-focus close-ups, zoom-ins, and "groovy" atmosphere shots) firmly place this picture in the '70s. This marked the first of a handful of Benson/O'Connor teamings; the stars reportedly dated each other for a time in real life. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
