Whike there's a party going on next door a young woman is stabbed to death in her neighboring apartment. Jerry Orbach and Jesse Martin eventually arrest Gene Silvers ho works in a hardware store and makes duplicate keys for break-ins.
This one however had him getting spotted and killing his way out.
Silvers is one real sicko. He grabs a hostage and demands a lawyer when cornered. The only lawyer on the scene is Elisabeth Rohm who shows her bar association card and Silvers negotiates. Rohm saves the woman's life.
That makes no nevermind to the bar association and a headhunter from there played by John Benjamin Hickey. In his own way a predator like Silvers.
With Sam Waterston defending her the committee reaches the only conclusion they could reasonably arrive at.
