Suzanne Pleshette is cast against type as Shelly Kingman, a woman with a sordid past and an uncertain future. Shelly is hired by ex-convict Roy Lewis (Dane Clark), whom Ironside (Raymond Burr) is determined to send back to prison for killing a cop. The "mystery woman"'s assignment is to get close to Ironside and set him up for murder--or, failing that, to murder him herself! (Suzanne Pleshette fans please note: though Ironside's first name is "Robert", she never calls him "Bob"--so put down those drinks!) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
