Pilot

""When the well-respected and honorable City Councilwoman Marge Patterson dies, her longtime opponent, the wiley Mayor Elizabeth Chardin, is eager to replace Patterson with a stooge. The mayor thinks she's found the perfect candidate -- Jim Doyle, Patterson's ex-husband and small-time grifter. But the mayor finds she's bitten off more than the can chew when Doyle decides to play the game of politics by his own rules and becomes a 'man of the people.'"" (NBC)

Remembrance of Flings Past

""Doyle thinks he's hit the jackpot when a developer offers Doyle membership in an exclusive golf club that's to be built in his district. There's a catch, however -- in addition to helping push the plans through City Council, Doyle must also help reunite the developer with his old girlfriend, Constance, who dumped him over his womanizing."" (NBC)

A Day in the Life

""A typical crazy day in the life of hustling Jim Doyle. It's a juggling act for Doyle as he tries cashing in on a 'sure thing' at the race track before post-time, simultaneously engages in some political spirit with the mayor, and talks the town's loser off the ledge of the bell tower."" (NBC)

""Doyle's efforts to play in a high-society, high-stakes poker game are thwarted when members of the club snub him by raising the stakes inordinately high. However, Doyle lucks into some big money when he becomes treasurer of a youth league charity with fifty-thousand dollars in the kitty. But as the big game nears, Doyle finds, much to his frustration that he's come to like the unfortunate kids. Will Doyle do the right thing?"" (NBC)
