At the request of his sister (Nancy Marshall), Richard Diamond (David
Janssen) tracks down Jack Milhoan (James Best), a former warbuddy of his
gone rogue, to persuade him to give himself up for a murder he has
committed. But once Diamond finds Milhoan with his showgirl girlfriend
(Lugene Sanders), he is only knocked out. Finally, Diamond and the
police manage to corner Milhoan at a merry-go-round, and once again
Diamond tries to persuade him to give himself up - but ultimately he has
to shoot his former buddy in self-defense. Ok TV-crime drama,
nothing special but not too bad either. And the downbeat ending works
quite well in the context of the storyline. Fortunately, nobody had the
bad idea to tag a happy ending of one sort or another onto this.
