Plot summary

Liz Stonestreet (Barbara Eden) is a private investigator and former policewoman whose late husband, a police detective, was killed in the line of duty and she becomes a detective to keep his beliefs about law and order alive.

Stonestreet is hired by Mrs. Shroeder (Louise Latham) to locate her son, Eddie (James Ingersoli), a small-time hoodlum who has been missing for eight days. Liz goes undercover as an usher at a porno theatre where Eddie worked and discovers in his locker a pair of expensive diamond earrings and newspaper clippings about a missing heiress, Amory Osborn (Ann Dusenberry), the niece of Elliott Osborn (Richard Basehart), a rich and powerful business leader. Despite advice from her boss Max Pierce (Joseph Mascolo) that her suspicions are unfounded, Stonestreet pursues the investigation in an attempt to find the link between Shroeder and the heiress.
