Plot Overview

After an argument with his wife, a stressed-out college chemistry professor gets himself drunk, then uses the empty whiskey bottle to make a nitroglycerin bomb. He puts the bomb in a briefcase and goes out to get himself even more smashed. When he realizes that he doesn't remember where he left the bomb, he turns to Parker, Flint and Arcaro for help. With the knowledge that the nitro bomb is the equivalent of ninety pounds of dynamite, Flint helps the professor retrace his steps in hopes of finding the bomb before it explodes.

Trivia

The Show

The two bomb squad members who aid the detectives in finding the bomb are played by J.D. Cannon and Terry Carter, who would be reunited a decade later, as New York City Detectives Chief Peter Clifford and Sergeant Joe Broadhurst respectively, in the hit TV series McCloud.
