This pilot for the series "Bert D'Angelo Superstar" (which had started its regular run two weeks earlier, and was a total bomb in the ratings) gives Mira Sorvino's dad a role to match his weight and ego: he plays a New York City detective who comes to San Francisco in search of a back-home cop killer, and decides to stay when the villain is caught.

A 15-year-old runaway girl comes to the apartment of the father she hasn't seen in years, only to find a man dead inside. When she finds out her father is not the dead man but possibly the killer, she still continues to search for him, not knowing that he is also being hunted by the brother of the dead man, who plans to kill him.
