- Jessica visits her old friend Harry McGraw in Boston who has become wrangled in the high stakes game of boxing.
- Jessica isn't amused to find she was asked 'urgently' to come help Boston PI Harry McGraw, in fact to invest in has-been boxer Blaster Boyle, the sole legacy of Harry's just deceased friend Pinky, who knew mobster Benny Falcone demands a $5,000 advance back for not finding his daughter's lover the saxophonist before the couple move in with Falcone. Harry accepted to field Blaster as last-minute replacement in a TV fight against Wade Talmadge's prize-fighter, Sean Shaleen, not to win, but needs an investor to advance the expenses. Rather then go 50-50, Jessica lends him $5,000. She learns from Boston Tribune sports reporter Dave Robinson she was listed as Blaster's manager by Henry, who was just arrested by BPD Lieutenant Casey for the murder of Talmadge, who was found shot in his car parked under a bridge where they are believed to have an appointment, as forensics proved it was with Harry's gun, which he admits was never out of his sight. Jessica snoops while the fight goes on.—KGF Vissers
- Jessica finds herself working with her old friend private detective Harry McGraw who has decided to become a fight manager. He's lined up a match for his man Blaster Boyle with Sean Shaleen managed by Wade Talmage. With $5000 from Jessica -it's either a loan or an investment depending on which of the two you ask - Harry's on his way. When Talmadge is found dead after getting into an argument with Harry, its the PI who is arrested for murder. Jessica takes over as Buster's fight manager and tries to instill in him the confidence he needs to win while the opposition is trying to get him to take a dive. Amid all of this, Jessica also has a murder to solve.—garykmcd
- In this pilot -aired as a special- for the series "The Law and Harry McGraw", Jessica and her friend, dodgy private eye Harry McGraw, get tangled up in the fight game as Harry manages boxer Blaster toward his first big fight. They are up against a consortium with a prize fighter in its stable, and the head of the consortium constantly belittles Harry as a seedy character (takes one to know one). The consortium's biggest boxer is taking out "pugs" on his route to the title, and both sides think that there's the possibility of an upset from Harry's man. When Harry argues the point in a trainer's room, his gun discharges. Later, the consortium head is found gunned down and the slug matches Harry's weapon. With Harry in jail on a murder rap, Jessica (who lent Harry money to cover the fighter's expenses) becomes the fighter's unwitting manager and tries to get Harry off the hook.—Peter Harris
