Shaft TV series (1973) The Enforcers Part 1

Detective John Shaft is summoned by the wife of a lawyer friend when her husband fails to return home after successfully defending a man accused of slaying a police officer. Later, the lawyer and his client are fished out of the river, the latest additions to a burgeoning list of similar murders that have stumped police Lieutenant Al Rossi for months. Shaft discovers all the victims, with the exception of his friend, are individuals of bad repute who escaped prosecution.

@hifijohn The SHAFT TV movies were an alternating part of CBS's 90-minute Tuesday Night Mystery Movie in 1973-74. They aired about every three weeks.

Wasn't there an episode of TV Shaft where some guy stuck a potato on the end of a rifle and used it as a silencer?
