The McMillans' maid Mildred is serving on the jury deliberating on the fate of San Francisco football star Luke Johnson, but one night she is attacked in her hotel. The jury is moved to a different hotel and in their vote for a decision, jurors vote to acquit Luke Johnson - except for juror Tom Rhine, Jr. Later that night when Jerry, a guard, gets a phone message for Rhine from his stepmother Virginia Rhine, he and another guard go to Rhine's hotel room, and find him shot to death. McMillan must now investigate two murders - the murder of Luke Johnson's teammate Mo Draper (the subject of the trial) and the murder of juror Tom Rhine. The McMillans and Charlie Enright question Luke Johnson's lawyer, the Rhine family, team manager Andrew Brille, and Jerry the guard, but several attempts are made on their lives, including an attempted shooting of Stewart at a football game, before Stewart makes a startling discovery about the way Rhine died - and in turn learns the true reason why Tom Rhine was killed.

A business magnate and friend of Mac's is getting mighty edgy when a car almost runs him down. Mac visits the businessman's upper-floor office, but outside the door he hears glass shattering and a woman screaming out the businessman's name. Mac rushes to the broken window, looks out, and sees...nothing. The woman, the businessman's secretary, won't talk. Mac leaves Enright in charge and goes to pick up Sally, hoping that she can interview the woman. As they return to the building, they see a human body plunging down the facade of the building. This time, it really is the businessman. Did he disappear in mid-air for three hours, or did he attempt suicide, stop and then try again successfully--or was he pushed out the broken window?

When multi-millionaire Maxwell Abbott dies, he arranges for 5 couples to participate in a winner-take-all automobile rally using his collection of classic cars. The prize: the vintage cars themselves, valued at nearly $2 million. McMillan was an old friend of Abbott's and he's pledged the collection to the police benevolent fund if he wins. It soon becomes apparent that someone is prepared to win at all costs. Forced to use Sally's old car after someone disables the classic Corvette they were supposed to use, the McMillan's set off but not before others have found their vehicles tampered with and someone phones in a bomb threat. The sabotage continues and McMillan wants to call the race off. He gets little support from the others who all have their own reasons for wanting to win the prize. When one of the participants is killed, McMillan finds himself dealing with a case of murder. The motive may not be as obvious as first appearances would suggest.
