Giudice di notte

Le peripezie dello staff di uno speciale tribunale notturno di Manhattan costituiscono l'ossatura di questa serie televisiva. Tra simpatici e variopinti delinquenti, il giovanissimo giudice Harry T. Stone (Harry Anderson), darà prova di grande intelligenza ed umanità, ricorrendo a metodi efficaci ma poco ortodossi per amministrare la giustizia. Accanto a lui svettano le figure del viceprocuratore distrettuale Dan Fielding (John Larroquette), cinico, arrivista, maschilista e donnaiolo; e dell'usciere "Bufalo" Shannon (Richard Moll), gigante dal cuore tenero e dalla mente semplice.
