Dottie (Patti Cohoon-Friedman) is playing in an abandoned theater when she happens upon some men discussing some conspiracy. Although the 9 year-old isn't completely aware of everything they're talking about, she does understand that they plan on killing someone. But, because of her age, the police seem totally unimpressed and the mother takes the case to Mannix. At first, Mannix isn't exactly sure the kid is telling the truth--though when there is an attempt on the kid's life, he's a believer. So who are these men, who do they want to kill and can Mannix manage to stop them from killing this cute little girl?

Episodes of shows with kids often fail because they are too cutesy or they rely on child actors--who can be awful. However, the kid seems like a natural and the show strikes a nice balance. Well worth seeing.
