Terror on Sycamore Street
Kate has a confrontation with a shady federal agent (Clu Gulager). In defending a homeowner on a self-defense charge -shooting an armed intruder- she discovers the agent planted false evidence. Narcotics agents press for a murder conviction against a homeowner who killed an agent in self-defense. When a terrified homeowner shoots an armed intruder in a "wrong door" drug raid, it looks like a simple case of self-defense. But Kate McShane has to fight a murder charge against her client when evidence is planted by a dishonest Federal agent. Narcotics inspector Brenner (guest star Clu Gulager), bitter over the fatal shooting of a fellow officer by Kate's client, Norman Kagan, refuses to admit Kagan's home was raided by mistake. Kate realizes, therefore, that is is her client's word in court against that of the Government agent.

Murder Comes in Little Pills
KATE McSHANE has a good case, with Kate (Anne Meara) defending a young football player accused of killing his girl. He swears he didn't do it. When it turns out he was on pills, she believes he just doesn't remember the killing. However, she finds the football team bosses don't want that kind of defense, fearing it's an indictment of the game itself.
Accounts Receivable
A Federal agent warns Kate to drop a murder investigation she's conducting in defense of her client. Is a man's life less important than a secret government operation's future? This emotional embattlement is the conflict of tonight's episode. Allen Garfield guest stars as a man accused of murder.
