Telecast April 17, 1974, Nakia was the pilot film for the shortlived ABC drama series of the same name. In the tradition of Billy Jack, Native American deputy sheriff Nakia Parker (Robert Fortier) tries to protect his people from the machinations of villainous whites. In this instance, Nakia stands up against an insensitive city council which plans to sell a historic mission to an evil land developer (is there any other kind on TV?) Nakia was filmed on location in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as was the weekly series itself, which ran from September 21 to December 28, 1974. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The protagonist is young runaway Barbara Sigel (a Golden Globe nominee for her performance in this film), who has a mad-on against the world. Refusing help from anyone over 30, the runaway likewise rejects the solace of the church. This generation gap can only be closed by total and willing acceptance of God and Jesus Christ. Randall Carver and Ed Nelson head the supporting cast, while Rev. Billy Graham makes a brief appearance as himself. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The paramedics try to persuade the son (Sean Kelly) of a stabbing victim (Wayne Heffley) to abandon his plans to avenge his father--which proves difficult, since the boy is heavily armed. Elsewhere, a young mother tries to abandon her deformed baby, a man is electrocuted by his TV set, and a hang-glider pilot ends up stuck in a high tree. And on a lighter note, paramedic John Gage (Randolph Mantooth) is shamed into inaugurating a strenuous physical-fitness regimen. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Keith (David Cassidy) falls in love yet again, this time with pretty-but-pompous cello player Rachel Weston (Barbara Sigel). An avowed enemy of rock-and-roll, Rachel insists that Keith stop squandering his talent and switch to classical music. The result is a juicy slice of pseudo-intellectual drivel titled "Partridge's First Concerto for Cello in D Major"--and a ton of wasted money as Keith pays for innumerable recording sessions with classically-trained professionals. Songs: "I'm Into Something Good" and "When I Grow Up". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

There's plenty of trepidation amongst the emergency staffers of Rampart Hospital when paramedic Roy DeSoto (Kevin Tighe) tries his hand at cooking. On a more serious note, the staff must contend with a particularly odious case of child abuse at the hands of a drug-addicted parent, an attempted suicide, and the impending birth of a baby suffering from a defective heart. And elsewhere, a workman is stranded on a crane, while a repairman suffers a serious electric shock from a malfunctioning washing machine. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After coming across a corpse stuffed in a sack and deposited in a park, Sgt. Ed Brown (Don Galloway) notifies the homicide division. When the cops arrive, the sack is still there--but the corpse is gone. Embarrassed by the taunts of rival cop Larry Muller (Warren Berlinger), Ed dedicates himself to proving that the body really existed, even though Ironside (Raymond Burr) demands that he devote his attention to a kidnapping case. Inevitably, it turns out that both cases share a common link. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
