This show only lasted one season, but presumably made it on to DVD because of the impressive guest stars and Jack Lords long run on HAWAII 5-0. In this episode Robert Duvall and Frank Overton come close to reprising their roles in To Kill a Mockingbird. Duvall is a not too bright but, decent stable boy who singlehanded foils a robbery. He tries to stay out of the spotlight, but an ambitious and unscrupulous reporter hounds him, and decides he has something to hide. The reporter forces him to physically defend himself, gets him arrested and vilified in the paper. Overton is the Chief of Police who has to arrest Duvall, but has a sense of the reporters exaggerated claims, and treats Duvall gently while investigating his supposed past violent acts. Then Stoney goes into Steve Mc Garrett mode to save the day. Worth seeing just for the fine acting and strong writing. Note thatJack Lord will show up on Frank Overtons series 12 O'clock High in 2 different roles.
Dominic Frontiere supplied the great musical scores for both shows.
