- Synopsis:
The cases of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation...A U.S. diplomat commits suicide rather than continue to be blackmailed by an Eastern Bloc country. The diplomat's death brings the FBI into the case. The bureau has intelligence that the target of the spy ring is a State Department position paper detailing the U.S. response to a variety of scenarios in the Middle East. Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) goes undercover and recruits a former woman spy for East Germany to help him. But the case is fraught with uncertainty, including whether Erskine's cover will hold up...Hazlett (Tim O'Connor), a member of the Cosa Nostra and under a death sentence by the criminal organization, is desperate. He hijacks an older plane headed to Jacksonville, Florida. The FBI, led by Erskine and Colby (William Reynolds), races to find Hazlett's daughter, who is likely being sought by the Cosa Nostra to use as a lever against her father. Onboard the flight, Hazlett shoots a passenger trying to stop the hijacking. Meanwhile, a Cosa Nostra hitman is sent to kill Hazlett, no matter what...Walker Graham Carr escapes from a mental hospital. He has been convicted of the murder of his wife but he is convinced she's still alive. Erskine and Colby lead the FBI's manhunt for Carr (Earl Holliman). Carr's uncertain mental condition complicates the bureau's search... - Actors:
