David Janssen stars as L.A. police sergeant Tom Valens, who, along with his partner(played by Kennan Wynn) are staking out an apartment complex when Tom spots a suspicious figure lurking around. He sees that the figure has a gun, so shoots and kills him, only to discover that the victim is a respected doctor, and that his gun cannot be found. Tom is then suspended from the force and charged with manslaughter, and becomes determined to find the gun, prove that the doctor was no saint, in order to clear his name.
Both star David Janssen and director Buzz Kulik were veterans from the classic TV series "The Fugitive", and this film has a similar feel, though is not up to it in terms of quality. Mystery is OK, if nothing exceptional, with a good supporting cast. Bittersweet ending will make you wonder how Tom will be able to prove anything at all...
