    Chase the Dragon
    Greg Paulson (Jack Klugman) served with distinction in Korea. However the communist Koreans turned him into a heroin addict.

    Back in America he managed to kick the habit with the help of his Korean wife.

    Now he is being forced to smuggle drugs from China. The smugglers hold his wife's family captive.

    Paul Marino once visited Paulson when he was hooked on junk. Now his wife has contacted Marino for help.

    An episode that does not pull its punches. The impact of the heroin trade from the far east.

    The Chinese smugglers look forward to gaining new addicts which means more business and money for them.

    There are strong scenes between Paulson and his wife that are filled with tragic undercurrents.
