Honorable Judge Harry T. Stone is a young, hip, jeans-wearing liberal eccentric presiding over the night shift of a Manhattan courtroom -- which means his views on various cases aren't always normal, nor are his judgments. Helping him manage the chaos is not-so-bright yet softhearted courtroom guard Bull and egotistical prosecutor Dan Fielding. Also part of Stone's crew are passionate public defender Christine Sullivan and calm court clerk Mac, who joined the show in its third and second seasons, respectively.

On Halloween, Dan believes he has sold his soul to the devil, and Harry gets locked inside a safe.

Dan (John Larroquette) sees his obituary in the paper after Harry (Harry Anderson) sends the "spirit of death" (Stephen Root) to jail.

Harry's career may be ruined if the contents of his criminal record are revealed. Guest: Judy Landers.

Harry gets the surprise of his life when an elderly woman (Janis Paige) announces she is his long-lost mother.
