When the story begins, a man has been going through some files and he realizes one of the lawyers at his firm is a crook and has been stealing. What he doesn't realize is that the man has stolen something else....his wife. And, when she meets up with her crook lover, she tells him her husband's suspicions....so Steven (Eric Braedon) kills the guy. After doing so, he calls the police and pretends to be the dead man...saying that some hippies are breaking into his home and intend him harm. As a result, the police naively begin looking for these hippies. But Barnaby Jones is a cool, happening dude (as you can tell by the jargon he spouts in the episode) and soon comes to the conclusion that something else happened....and nearly gets himself killed as a result.
This is an okay episode of the series. I say okay because hearing Ebsen, in his mid-60s, spouting all sorts of hip lingo seemed pretty silly. Not a bad episode but a bit embarrassing when it tried too hard to be relatable to the younger generation.
