...Matlock, play bad cop- good cop for the defense. Prosecutor Marcia Clark is a former professional dancer. Clark's witnesses have a nice racial mix out of Hill Street Blues: Greek-American male nurse, Chinese-American criminalist, middle-American detectives. During recesses, big-shot defense attorneys -- hired guns who fit the western-movie stereotypes of cowboy, gambler and hard-eyed madam -- are ready to offer the predictable wisdom that no man should be presumed guilty if he can afford to retain one of them. And just as the hearing is a sneak preview of the murder trial, so these...

He then meets the beautiful "Tela" who tells him about the revolution as they ride to the rebel base camp. Upon their arrival, the Colonel watches the rebel leader Errand Wolf's fit of rage over the evil doings of the tyrranical king "Wilson" who has stolen the Helping Friendly Book. For thousands of years it had enabled the Lizard people to live in peace and harmony with the land, but by stealing the book, Wilson has enslaved the people of Gamehenge...
