Plot

Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck) feels guilty when innocent bystander Emily Jackson (Talia Balsam) is seriously injured as the result of a high-speed car chase between Magnum and a gang of black marketeers. To make amends, Magnum brings Emily to Robin's Nest to recuperate from her injuries. Soon, however, it becomes apparent that Emily was not merely a "bystander" in his confrontation with the villains--and chances are that she's not entirely innocent, either. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
