While vacationing in California's timber country, Ironside (Raymond Burr) is invited to visit an old hermit friend--who then mysteriously disappears. Investigating the situation, Ironside runs up against a stone wall of silence, with everyone in town--apparently under orders from a pair of wealthy lumbermen--refusing to cooperate in any manner. Ultimately, Ironside himself vanishes, and Mark (Don Mitchell) is charged with the Chief's murder! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
