Dr. Mark Sloan is chief of Internal Medicine at Community General Hospital -- and sometime consultant to the local police department. When he's drawn into a case, he combines sleuthing and medicine to solve the crime. That crime is usually one his detective son, Steve, is working on as a member of the local police department. Dr. Sloan's medical colleagues, including doctors Amanda Bentley, Jack Stewart and Jesse Travis, are also frequently drawn into his investigations.
Jesse and Amanda stand in the way of a killer who's scheming to get their multi-million dollar inheritance.
A newspaper reporter goes to Mark for help when she suspects a New Age religion is responsible for the stabbing of her dance partner.
Dr. Sloan tries to help Amanda when she becomes involved in an incident involving the Chinese government.
After Dr. Sloan reports the death of a television infomercial star, the body vanishes and his company and wife insist he is still alive.
