 James Franciscus played Michael Longstreet, a New Orleans insurance investigator who was blinded in an attempt on his life in which his wife, Ingrid, was killed. With help from his best friend Duke (who heads the Great Pacific Casualty Company), his assistant/companion Nikki, and guide dog Pax, Longstreet continues at his job. Bruce Lee had a reoccuring role in the series teaching Longstreet jeet kune do, a Chinese form of improvisational combat.
