James Stacy is cast as Peter Forrest, an AWOL Vietnam veteran determined to connect with the son that he's never seen. Resorting to kidnapping the boy, the increasingly unbalanced Forrest leads detectives Stone (Karl Malden) and Keller (Michael Douglas) on a frenzied chase. Also swept up in the melodrama is Forrest's ex-wife Joan (Linda Marsh), and Barney and Martha Reardon (Richard O'Brien, Nancy Wickwire), the kidnapped child's adoptive parents--and the only mother and father he has ever known. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Attorney Theodore Berringer (Simon Oakland) is none too fond of his current clients, a band of scofflaw anarchists. When the gang escapes from prison, they take Berringer's son Ted (Brad David) hostage to ensure the elder Berringer's cooperation. As it turns out, however, Ted is a willing accomplice of the anarchists--though he is blissfully unaware of their sinister plans for the future. Thus, Ironside (Raymond Burr) must not only rescue Ted from the villains, but also from his own misguided idealism. Featured in the cast is Christina Crawford, adopted daughter of movie queen Joan Crawford and future author of the infamous tell-all biography Mommie Dearest. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ironside (Raymond Burr) and Mark (Don Mitchell) show up at a prison, ostensibly to receive information about a recent crime. Instead, the pair has been lured into a trap by three desperate convicts who intend to use the Chief's van to make their getaway. How can Ironside turn this situation around to his advantage--especially since the convicts are also holding hostage the wife (Virginia Gregg) of the prison's warden (Arthur Space. Contrary to previously published reports, the role of convict Terry Wilson is not played by former child star Jackie Coogan, but instead by Coogan's son Jackie Jr. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Vicious, cop-hating Frank Vincent (Pernell Roberts) threatens dire consequences when he is arrested on a drunk driving charge by Ed Brown (Don Galloway) and two other officers (one of whom is played by director-stuntman Hal Needham, the other by Bing Russell, father of film star Kurt Russell)). Later, both of his colleagues turn up dead, convincing Ed that Vincent is the killer; unfortunately, he has no proof, and is told to leave Vincent alone. Ultimately suspended from the force, Ed literally puts his life on the line to expose Vincent as a murderer. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

An international incident quickly develops when a celebrated Soviet track star disappears during an American athletic event. It's possible that the man was kidnapped, and equally possible that he has defected for love of a woman. Investigating the case, Ironside (Raymond Burr) must work hand and glove with the Soviet officials--all the while keeping secret the fact that the missing man was actually a counterintelligence agent for the U.S. TV's future "Lou Grant", Ed Asner, is seen as Marlon Davis, while Lee Miller, Raymond Burr's longtime stand-in, appears as a bartender. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The spectacle of the big top and flying trapeze artists provide a dramatic setting for this standard tale about an aerialist returned from Army service, looking to pick up where he left off. Rick Rias (Michael Callan) receives a double shock when he comes back from the Army: the woman he loved before he was called to duty is now married to someone else, and his father will not recommend him for an aerial act because he says he is not ready yet. Rick's broken heart starts to mend when he takes an interest in young Suzanne (Evy Norlund), the newest member of the "Flying Fontaines." The only drawback is that her heart is set on Bill (Rian Garrick) another trapeze artist. Rick's luck continues to deteriorate as one misfortune follows another. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
