Police Commissioner Stewart McMillan of San Francisco is a man with ponderous responsibilites. By good fortune, his wife Sally is something of a genius. They live in the city and have a shrewd housekeeper named Mildred, who is as often as not at odds with her slightly distrait sister Agatha. McMillan's duties require him to intervene personally when circumstances warrant in police cases, and here he is aided by the saturnine but enthusiastic Sgt. Enright. The commissioner's mother, Beatrice McMillan, a brilliant person, independent-minded and a very fast driver, breezes through now and again. In the last season, two of the actors have departed, and the show is renamed McMillan. Directors: Daniel Petrie, Hy Averback, Lee H. Katzin, etc. |
73 mins 9/30/1973 1. Death of a Monster... Birth of a Legend | |
![]() |
On vacation in the Scottish Highlands to visit his Uncle Michael (with Sally and Mildred in tow; Enright comes over later), Mac walks onto the grounds of the McMillan castle and shouts for Uncle Michael. The response is a rifle shot. Mac rushes in and finds Uncle Michael's lawyer and his housekeeper, who are trying to break into the "keep" which Uncle Michael uses as an office. Uncle Michael is dead on the floor, shot through the head with a rifle lying beside him. All the evidence points to suicide, but Mac won't believe it -- especially when two men run away from the castle on consecutive nights. Mac finds that the McMillan family has a centuries-long feud with the neighboring MacCready family, dating back to when a McMillan soldier caught a MacCready hiding in a secret passage on the eve of a battle -- and walled him in alive. The lawyer and several others in the case are MacCreadys, and perhaps one of them decided to finish the feud. Uncle Michael's irresponsible grandson soon arrives, inheriting the castle and, it's rumored, a hidden treasure. The grandson is also running the Highland Games, which spark monster sightings in a nearby "loch" (lake) similar to "Nessie." While hunting, Mac ducks several rifle bullets, and Sally dodges a huge man who practices caber-tossing -- at her. It's clear that someone believes in the existence of the treasure and thus has a perfect motive to kill Uncle Michael -- but who? The mystery deepens when Enright and Sally find that a wall of the keep has been recently re-mortared and the corpse of the long-dead MacCready is inside his secret passage. Is it a clue to the locked-room mystery, or another red herring?

![]() |
A business magnate and friend of Mac's is getting mighty edgy when a car almost runs him down. Mac visits the businessman's upper-floor office, but outside the door hears glass shattering and a woman screaming out the businessman's name. Mac rushes to the broken window, looks out, and sees ... nothing. The woman, the businessman's secretary, won't talk. Mac leaves Enright in charge and goes to pick up Sally, hoping she can interview the woman. As they return to the building, they see a human body plunging down the facade of the building. This time, it really is the businessman. Did he disappear in mid-air for three hours, or did he attempt suicide, stop and then try again successfully -- or was he pushed out the broken window?
