Juan is a lonely recent arrival from Puerto Rico hoping to make friends in the NY latino community. At a dance hall, he meets Anita who's there with her husband. Abruptly, she sends him outside to meet her forlorn friend Maria who's huddled at the front door in rather mysterious fashion. However, a suddenly agitated Maria walks away, leaving him again alone. Worse, a robbery and shooting are committed nearby, while circumstances lead police to arrest Juan. Anita could give him an alibi, but she doesn't. Neither does she confirm his meeting with Maria or even confirm Maria's existence. So what's going on with Anita. Now a sympathetic Casey tries to locate the missing Maria, otherwise hard luck Juan is facing a capital murder case.
Reminding me a bit of actor Tony Perkins, Milian as Juan does a fine job of impersonating the fidgety, sensitive latino. He's easy to identify with as bad luck seems to have followed him upon entering the city. It's an interesting, rather suspenseful episode with Casey helping out. Then too, a religious theme enters at the end, appropriate to what happens at that point. On the whole, fans should be entertained even if parts of the story are a stretch.
