Sgt Reardon (akins) insists he needs Mannix, not a lawyer when a guy is murdered and it appears as if he did it (it sure looked like him in the beginning)
When the show begins, you see a guy in a car shoot someone and smash into a car while getting away from the scene of the crime. The guy in the car LOOKS a lot like Claude Akins. In the next scene, the police arrive at the home of Sgt. Reardon (Akins) and arrest him for the murder. Instead of asking for an attorney, Reardon asks for Mannix and hires him to investigate. Eventually, he's able to find evidence that says Reardon wasn't guilty after all. But there's much more to it than this...and instead of celebrating a successful conclusion of a case, he should keep digging deeper.
This is a pretty good episode...mostly because the three just before this turned out to be pretty poor. Plus there are enough twists and turns that it keeps you guessing. Worth seeing and rather original...which is tough considering there have been nearly seven episodes so far (and a final season coming up).
