A foster father, who is content to keep collecting welfare checks, hires O'Brien to keep seven children with him after an adoption judge takes the youths away from him.
O'Brien suffers a broken leg in a hit-and-run accident. Writer James Partridge, who was with him at the time of the accident, thinks he was the target because of his work for British Intelligence.
O'Brien is blackmailed into helping the Macedonian government negotiate the return of a stolen emblem but which of the thieves claiming they have it is real?
As the thieves start getting killed off one by one, O'Brien becomes the prime suspect. Meanwhile, Mrs O'Brien has a cruise booked and is not going to miss it with her husband or without him.
Taking the bench as an interim judge, O'Brien deals with the case of a seaman accused of murdering a co-worker with a longshoreman's hook. Gene Hackman plays the prosecutor in the case.
