When an attempted con on a Columbian drug dealer by Jennie Jerome (Margot Kidder) goes awry, her former romantic and criminal partner, John Reid (James Read) – now a television producer for KJME-TV, Channel 6 in Santa Ana, California – helps her by hiding her out.
In return, Jennie helps John with a story for his consumer protection show, Solutions, hosted by William Bauer (Rod McCary).
The two become partners again, and stories relate their adventures as they use their skills to acquire stories.
Other regular characters include Natalie Thayer (Marg Helgenberger), the conventional but slightly dull daughter of the station’s owner who is engaged to Reid, and station manager Bert Luna (Chip Zien).
The CBS “dramatic comedy” was scheduled against The Cosby Show and Family Ties, so it was dead on arrival in the ratings and disappeared down television’s black hole.
