When his undercover-detective friend Michael Moroshima is killed in the line of duty, Quincy's assistant Sam (Robert Ito) recognizes the dead man's wound as having being made by a knife commonly used by the Yakuza, the "Japanese Mafia." Sam believes that Moroshima's killing is but the tip of the iceberg in a large-scale operation involving both the Yakuza and organized crime in America. Enlisting the aid of Quincy (Jack Klugman), Sam races against time to bust up this cartel--and to prevent Michael's grieving father (Mako) from exacting his own brand of vengeance. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the opening episode of The Rockford Files' fifth season, Jim Rockford (James Garner) wants to know why his dad Rocky (Noah Beery Jr.), temporarily employed as a delivery driver, was forced off the road and his cargo--consisting of breakfast sausages--was hijacked. The main culprit would seem to be the sausage company's front man, country-western singer Charlie Strayhorn (Taylor Lachman). But Charlie turns out to be a mere pawn in a widespread smuggling scheme masterminded by the real villain of the piece. The title song for this episode was written (but not performed) by Willie Nelson. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After burying his victim in an underground box with a limited air supply, a kidnapper rushes to the location where the ransom is to dropped--only to be killed in a car crash. Racing against time, the police desperately seek out clues as to the victim's whereabouts before his oxygen runs out. Joining the hunt is medical examiner Quincy (Jack Klugman), who hopes that a discarded piece of apple will provide enough forensic evidence to save a life. This is one of a handful of second-season Quincy, M.E. episodes deemed worthy of two network rerun showings. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
