A vicious megalomaniac with his own television talk show is bound to make enemies and Ross Howard is no exception. When his life is threatened Ironside is called in.

"Ironside is a contemporary man, concerned with the problems of today's world. I like his expansiveness. He's toughest and most patient with people he likes best. He's seen the seedy side of life and he's honest. He's a particular kind of man who just happens to be a detective, but he could have been a plumber. There's an almost mysterious sense of anguish about this man." (Raymond Burr)
