This episode of McCloud has the visiting marshal from Taos, New Mexico becomes quite the globe trotter and living the high life in Paris, Beirut, and then at the Waldorf in Manhattan. It's all part of an undercover operation to take down the Rhigas family of gangsters. One son John Marley is already in prison, one son Joseph Campanella goes there and in the end family patriarch Victor Jory is the target.
But Chief Clifford has reason to be nervous. The NYPD is going through an austerity period and McCloud's high living has the bean counters making him nervous. Then when a million dollars to make a drug buy goes missing J.D. Cannon is about to have a stroke.
Of course it all works out in the end. And it wouldn't be a McCloud episode without the Chief's ulcer growing.
