SEASON 2, EPISODE 7
SILENCE IS GOLDEN


An obnoxious and insulting radio DJ (Jeff Yagher) meets a formidable and unlikely
foe in a street mime (Albie Selznick) who has revenge on his mind after an encounter
that ended in violence. The DJ also has his own demons, in the form of a protective
wife (Sherry Hursey), who wants him to be himself on the air, and not some shock jock,
even if it is at the expense of big ratings and big money. Meanwhile, the mime, who
moonlights as a burglar, becomes a victim of a warped plot to frame him for murder.
