    Don Galloway takes center stage in this Ironside episode as he's called to apprehend a fugitive whom he knows from high school and was in the same graduating class with him. Galloway has to start checking on a whole lot of people he hasn't seen since high school class of '57. Some of them are quite put off by his being a cop and the reactions vary from each person he talks to.

    One person who welcomes him back is Marlyn Mason who is now a widow with two kids. And Galloway himself is not adverse to getting something going with her. But the job comes first.

    To see how it works out for Galloway, check out this Ironside episode, not one of the better ones, but OK.
