    18 x 60 minute episodes

    Nick Fox (Nicholas Campbell) is a freelance investigative journalist who works for the nationally syndicated magazine Newspoint, edited by Alice West (Gail Strickland).

    His sidekick James Mackay (Stoney Jackson) is a streetwise ex-con gone straight – more or less – and a Prince lookalike, who has been hired by Alice to use his expertise as a thief, con artist and schemer to assist Nick in getting stories.

    Episodes related Nick and James’ efforts to acquire stories by becoming a part of them.

    Other regular characters included Alice’s secretary, Melissa (Kelly Ann Conn); Nick’s cousin Roxanne (Jeannie Elias); and Alice’s mother, Louise (Jane Greer).

    Compared heavily at the time to Miami Vice, the series ran for just one season. The theme song was Just A Job To Do by Genesis.
