Upon discovering that one of the teenage members of his inner-city basketball team is involved with a gang of warehouse thieves, Mark (Don Mitchell) figures that the best course of action is to determine the boy's identity himself, then persuade him to give himself up and face the consequences. But the vicious head of the gang doesn't quite see things the same way. Prominently featured in the cast is a pre-Partridge Family David Cassidy, delivering an unusual characterization. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Mark (Don Mitchell) comes to the aid of his old boxing coach Bakey Baker (James Gregory), now an impoverished derelict. Unjustly accsued of felonious assault, Baker is unable to afford a decent lawyer, and the authorities are callously prepared to hang the man solely on the basis of circumstantial evidence, refusing even to listen to his side of the story. Mark's frustration with the iniquities of the legal system reaches the crisis stage when he can't even persuade his liberal law-school instructor Maria Wakeman (Janet MacLachlan) to take up Bakey's cause. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ironside (Raymond Burr) and Mark (Don Mitchell) have a bitter falling out over Mark's friendship with ex-convict Sam Noble (Mel Scott). While the Chief is convinced that Noble is a murderer, Mark can only remember the man's kindness to him during his troubled childhood. Things come to a head when, out of loyalty to Noble, Mark quits Ironside's team cold--a move he may regret in more ways than one. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ironside (Raymond Burr) wants to find out why young Tim Patterson (Michael Christian) has forsaken a stellar college career to become a pool hustler. It turns out that Tim has taken it upon himself to square the huge gambling debts incurred by his ne'er-do-well brother Bobby (Carl Reindel)--a task made difficult by venal professional gembler Phil Vance (H.M. Wynant). The episode's highlight is a demonstration of the genuine pool-playing prowess of guest star Jack Albertson, cast as champion cue-wielder Money Howard. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
