Night Court

Harold T. Stone becomes a night court judge and settles a dispute involving a woman threatening her husband with gunfire.

An impressionable young nun decides to leave her order after meeting Harry.

Everyone tries to adjust to Selma's death as Harry interviews possible replacements, but Bull goes on a drinking binge instead.

Harry's distracted from a courtroom full of ventriloquists and their dummies by the delivery of a letter from his mother, mailed fifteen years earlier.

Christine nervously takes the bench as Dan and Mac try to cover for the newly reinstated Harry, who's planning the greatest gag of all time.

Meanwhile, in the arctic rescue scenario, Dan accidentally fires a flare-gun at a small plane signalling to him; the pilot in the plane is injured (both hands broken) and thus cannot perform a critical operation. Because of that, Dan becomes the only person available who can operate on a young Eskimo woman suffering from appendicitis.

Buddy leaves the institution and moves in with Harry while Dan and his real estate agent scheme to take over a dying man's Park Avenue apartment.

Christine comes back from having her baby and has to deal with the shadow of her replacement, good 'ole Ted. Harry tries to avoid the tutor arranged to help him pass a crucial high school history test. Meanwhile Dan's sister comes to visit, and Dan asks Bull to take her out to see the sights of New York, unaware that his baby sister is a chip off the old Fielding block.

Harry and Christine are both confused over their feelings for each other, but before they can work them out, the deranged Dan kidnaps Christine at a courthouse costume party.
