The FBI's search for escaped confict Charles Nyack (Scott Marlowe) is stymied by a massive power blackout. Meanwhile, Nyack commits murder in his efforts to cover his tracks.

The FBI investigates a possible case of sabotage when a chemical plant is blown up. What Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) doesn't realize is that the "saboteur", research chemist Roger Mason (Bradford Dillman), was driven by neither politics or monetary gain, but by mental illness. A schizophrenic, Mason has cracked under the pressures of both his job and his home life--and worse, he has no idea of why he's behaving so monstrously, nor where he plans to strike next! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Inspector Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) investigates a fatal plane crash that was rigged to hide the fact that someone working for defense contractor Steven Colton (Fritz Weaver) has been shipping defective equipment to Vietnam. Time is of the essence in rooting out the villain, inasmuch as the lives of thousands of a American soldiers are at stake. But Erskine's boss Arthur Ward (Philip Abbott) has a more personal stake in the matter: Steven Colton's wife Elyse (Diane Baker) is an old friend of his. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The FCC alerts Inspector Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) when several radio operators begin receiving strange, cryptic messages. Meanwhile, a deranged man named Joseph Walker (played by a young Robert Duvall) formulates a plan to destroy a new guided missile known as "Thor", which is slated to be delivered from an Arizona silo to a California launching site. It turns out that those bizarre radio signals are actually clues being provided by Walker in a perverse game of "catch me if you can"! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
- 1965
The FBI investigates when a Maryland bank is robbed twice in the same day by the same bandit. This matches the modus operandi of Wayne Powell (Crahan Denton), who pulled off the same double-robbery strategy some twenty years earlier--and when Powell confesses to the more recent crimes, the Bureau figures that the case is closed. But Inspector Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) suspects that this time Powell is innocent, and that he is shielding the real criminal. Meanwhile, the romance between Erskine's daughter Barbara (Lynn Loring) and FBI agent Rhodes (Stephen Brooks) intensifies, while the good Inspector has relationship issues of his own with his erstwhile girlfriend Joanna Laurens (Lee Meriwether). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Investigating the destruction of a group photo of several bank employees, Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) finds that the bank in question has a $100,000 shortage. The case narrows down to fugitive embezzler Charles Gates, played by guest star Jack Klugman (whose then-wife Brett Somers also appears as Mrs. Gates). Sensitive to the curious parallels between Gates' past life and his own, Erskine devises a scheme to play upon the fugitive's intense devotion to his family and thus bring him out in the open. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
