The early seventies saw the era of the detective with the disability and/or gimmick. Longstreet's was that he was blind. This explains the story of Mike Longstreet (James Fransiscus), an insurance investigator, as told by his associates. The real Longstreet lost his eyesight from a bomb in a champagne bottle. His seeing eye dog was named Pax. His co-workers were Nikki (Marlyn Mason) and Duke (Peter Mark Richman).

The other detectives at this gathering are Mannix (Mike Connors), Ironside and Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell), Nichols (James Garner), Cannon, Columbo (Peter Falk), and Sarge (George Kennedy). There is more than one cowboy in the splash panel, perhaps the other is McCloud?
