SYNOPSIS

Harrison K. Fox was a conservative young attorney trying to develop a successful law practice in San Francisco to support his wife, Cindy, and his young son, Josh. Unfortunately for him, his life was endlessly complicated by his unconventional father Harry, a lovable con artist and Private Eye who was constantly getting involved in murder cases. Harry was a real character. When he got involved in dicey case, he would inevitably drag Harrison in with him - sometimes to get free legal advice (he had, after all, paid for Harrison's education), sometimes to get Harrison to take on one of his trouble-prone friends as a client, most often to help with the legwork. That usually meant chasing people, breaking into offices, and getting shot at - just the sort of diversion a conservative attorney enjoys! Harrison's secretary Allison grew used to seeing Harry barge into the office, interrupting important meetings.

Despite all this, and regardless of his better judgment, Harrison could never turn Harry down. He was, after all, a lovable old coot.
