After two young women are killed on a University campus, Fran (Elizabeth Baur) has a suspicious accident near the murder scene. Investigating, Ironside (Raymond Burr) finds out that both victims had one thing in common: they had been the mistresses of the college's married dean (Richard Anderson), a man with a spotless reputation--up until now, that is. Although three more episodes remained in Ironside's eighth season, "The Faded Image" ended up as the series' network finale when the show was abruptly cancelled on January 16, 1975. The three leftover installments would not be seen until they were syndicated in the fall of that year. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
