Cannon teams up with Barnaby Jones to investigate the activities of a large corporation that may include murder. Note: The story-line finishes in the Barnaby Jones episode "The Deadly Conspiracy: Part 2". Note: For syndication, the ending was re-filmed to resolve the case in one episode, with Bud McKenna (Murray Hamilton) surviving instead of being murdered by Alex Parks (Diana Douglas).
