Mike Evans, who at the time this episode aired was also starring as Lionel on the CBS sitcom The Jeffersons, guest stars as Paul Hudson, a neurotic kid living in a tough ghetto neighborhood. After witnessing a murder, Paul promises to keep his mouth shut, providing that the killer find Paul a job with a notorious underworld organization. Will detectives Stone (Karl Malden) and Keller (Michael Douglas) be able to save Paul from his new "friends"--and from himself? Intriguingly, Berlinda Tolbert, who later costarred with Mike Evans on The Jeffersons as Lionel's wife Jenny, also shows up in this episode.
