Mike Hammer, Private Eye

Deputy Mayor Barry Lawrence may be running for District Attorney on a "law and order" platform, but that doesn't mean that his conduct is always above board. When his mistress Tracy calls, she puts him in a compromising position. The police investigation stalls in what appears to be an attempt to cover up for the man Tracy's parents believe killed her--Barry Lawrence. Mike loves the idea of getting dirt on Barry, but a brawl with a cop leaves him conducting his investigation--with the help of his team--from a jail cell.
