The McMillans' maid Mildred is serving on the jury deliberating on the fate of San Francisco football star Luke Johnson, but one night she is attacked in her hotel. The jury is moved to a different hotel and in their vote for a decision, jurors vote to acquit Luke Johnson - except for juror Tom Rhine, Jr. Later that night when Jerry, a guard, gets a phone message for Rhine from his stepmother Virginia Rhine, he and another guard go to Rhine's hotel room, and find him shot to death. McMillan must now investigate two murders - the murder of Luke Johnson's teammate Mo Draper (the subject of the trial) and the murder of juror Tom Rhine. The McMillans and Charlie Enright question Luke Johnson's lawyer, the Rhine family, team manager Andrew Brille, and Jerry the guard, but several attempts are made on their lives, including an attempted shooting of Stewart at a football game, before Stewart makes a startling discovery about the way Rhine died - and in turn learns the true reason why Tom Rhine was killed.

A business magnate and friend of Mac's is getting mighty edgy when a car almost runs him down. Mac visits the businessman's upper-floor office, but outside the door he hears glass shattering and a woman screaming out the businessman's name. Mac rushes to the broken window, looks out, and sees...nothing. The woman, the businessman's secretary, won't talk. Mac leaves Enright in charge and goes to pick up Sally, hoping that she can interview the woman. As they return to the building, they see a human body plunging down the facade of the building. This time, it really is the businessman. Did he disappear in mid-air for three hours, or did he attempt suicide, stop and then try again successfully--or was he pushed out the broken window?

The McMillans, Mildred and her sister Agatha go to visit a woman relative of Mildred and Agatha, a very wealthy woman who's dying -- but not quickly enough to suit one of her nephews, who's in debt to a loansharking company later described as "just this side of Murder, Incorporated." Threatened with death if he doesn't come up with the money right away, the nephew smothers the old lady in her bed. But when the will is read, the nephew isn't the prime beneficiary -- a young great-niece is. Someone soon guns down the niece, and the nephew (who's next in line for the money) is the prime suspect. But when Agatha sneaks onto the nephew's pleasure boat to investigate him, someone plants a firebomb onto the boat. The nephew agrees to save Agatha and gives her a life jacket, but can't get off himself before the engine explodes. Next, the McMillans discover that the murdered "great-niece" was an impersonator -- so Sally poses as the great-niece herself and shows up on the doorstep of the old lady's countrified financial manager, hoping he has some clues.
