Storyline Two cops are shot dead in cold blood, the killer is on the loose, and a
woman lies dying in the hospital of diphtheria. Two completely unrelated
cases, but nothing is as it seems in KILLER BY NIGHT. As the highly
contagious diphtheria begins claiming more victims, Dr. Larry Ross
(Robert Wagner) races to find its source to prevent an outbreak. More
concerned with the dead police officers, Captain George Benson (Greg
Morris) reluctantly cooperates with Dr. Ross. The deeper the
investigations go, the more they seem to have in common, and the key to
solving both of them may hinge upon the only person who might be able to
identify the gunman- a blind nun.
Using the backdrop of a deadly
outbreak KILLER BY NIGHT crafts a tense and human thriller. Featuring
an original score from the legendary Quincy Jones and an all-star cast
led by Robert Wagner and Greg Morris, the film also includes strong
supporting performance by Robert Lansing, Theodore Bikel, and Diane
Baker.
Storyline Someone killed a hooker, and the cops are sure they've got the perp: a
ghetto kid named Donald Lang (LeVar Burton). But Donald cannot speak. Or hear. Or read
or write or understand sign language. Not even Donald's deaf lawyer can
communicate with him. Can the state try a man incapable of defending
himself? Le Var Burton and Paul Sorvino play accused and attorney in
this gripping true story of a case that challenged our legal system and
challenges our concept of justice. Winner of a 1979 Peabody Award(r) and
nominated for an Emmy(r) as 1979's Outstanding Drama or Comedy Special,
Dummy speaks volumes about the value of a human life, whether it
belongs to a prostitute or the man who may be unjustly accused of her
murder.
