Blind Justice is a fact-based TV movie starring Tim Matheson, here made to look "normal" with glasses and mustache. The innocent Matheson is fingered by witnesses as an armed robber/kidnapper/rapist. For the next 14 months, his life is hell. Too much circumstantial evidence surrounds the case, and too much information leaks out to the public; even if Matheson beats the rap, he'll be ruined in his community. Blind Justice was first telecast on March 9, 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Veteran bank robber Garwood Huddle (Pat Hingle) escapes from prison--and since Garwood is an old friend of Higgins (John Hillerman), it is only logical that Magnum (Tom Selleck) should end up assisting Huddle in his flight. Fancying himself a modern-day Robin Hood, Huddle insists that he has escaped with the noblest of intentions: his grandson has been kidnapped, and he hopes to be the ransom by digging up a cache of cash he'd stolen back in the 1940s. But when the two men arrive at the burial site, it appears that someone has beaten them to it! Featured in the supporting cast is Nancy DeCarl, the real-life wife of series regular Larry Manetti--and listen for the voice of Phil Hartman as a TV newscaster. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Magnum (Tom Selleck) comes to the aid of the LaSalle sisters (Mildred Natwick, Martha Scott), a pair of seemingly helpless little old ladies who are about to be evicted by a nasty slum lord. At the same time, he continues his search for the person who has been systematically robbing the Day-N-Dark convenience stores. It is only after Higgins (John Hillerman, who'd known and loved the LaSalles in their show-business days, organizes a charity bingo game on the ladies' behalf that Magnum begins to discern a link between the elderly "girls" and the robberies. And how does ex-ballplayer Johnny Wells (John McLiam) figure into all this? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
