- Synopsis:
Based on the movies of the same name, John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) is a two-fisted black private eye along the lines of Mike Hammer and Phillip Marlowe. Each week presents a different case and a different crime to solve... A group of the town's leading citizens is acting as a vigilante committee, kidnapping, trying, and executing suspects who have been acquitted of crimes. Shaft becomes involved after the group goes even further, killing an attorney who helped get him started in his business...Shaft is hired to prove the innocence of a young man accused of an accidental hit-and-run killing with a stolen car. He finds that the victim was a casino enforcer who was trying to skim off his employer, and that his killing was probably not an accident at all...A grand jury witness, who was to testify against a mobster, is killed by a grenade at the courtroom. Also killed is a friend of Shaft who was at the courtroom to get married. Shaft is determined to catch the hit man, who he briefly saw, and decides to set himself up as a decoy to do so. The killer is also a devoted family man whose wife is catching on to what he really does for a living... - Actors:
