In a story reminiscent of "Rashomon," Mannix is hired by publishing executive George Diamond to locate Diamond's secretary, Winifred Hill. Hill may -- or may not -- have seen Diamond attempt to push his estranged wife, Stella, into the ocean near his beach house. In a panic, Hill goes into hiding. Diamond claims that she misinterpreted what she saw and tells Mannix he simply wants Hill to know the truth. During the course of his investigation, however, Mannix uncovers several different versions of what happened, including two from George Diamond. Then a murder takes place, forcing Mannix to reconsider the truthfulness of his own client.
