When a friend's son is framed for an underworld murder, Harry's only witness is a blind teenager.

An old friend asks Harry to follow her husband, an accountant whose mysterious behavior suggests that he is having an affair.

A puzzling client is a young man just out of a mental institution who claims he shot his drunken brother to protect his sister-in-law, but the sister-in-law knows nothing about a shooting and the brother is very much alive.

Harry hits the city's grubbier streets in a search for his client's daughter, a teen-age drug addict who saw a narcotics dealer murder her addict boyfriend.
