This doctor's a killer. Is the woman tracking him, his next patient or his nect victim?

Originally made for television and adapted from a novel by Mary Higgins Clark, the story focuses on an attorney (Lauren Hutton) who has witnessed a murder. She is unable to convince anyone of the truth, though a young doctor (Ben Murphy) wants to believe her.

The main twist in this suspense drama, about a lady assistant D.A. (Lauren Hutton) who stumbles onto a sinister plot involving unethical doctor James Farentino's youth-prolonging research at the local hospital, is the casting, in their regular roles, of several members of the daytime drama "Guiding Light". For continuity, Ben Murphy, as a local medical examiner who happens to be Hutton's boyfriend, made several appearances in the part on "Guiding Light" itself prior to the film's premiere.
