Barnaby Jones takes on a very routine and 'safe' case...or so it seems. A mother has paid Barnaby to find her daughter. They are apparently estranged and she wants to find her daughter to apologize and rebuild their relationship. But what no one knows is that the daughter's new hubby (Peter Strauss) is a hitman!! So, when Barnaby starts asking about the missing lady, bad people start assuming he's looking for the hitman...setting off a series of tragic events.
This is a rather neat episode...well written and unusual. It also introduces a weird relationship between the killer and the wannabe killer, who is his younger brother. Very tense and well made.
