Episode synopsis
E. Haskell Bridges is back and this time he is going after Johnny. He uses a device to knock Johnny out and assumes his face and proceeds to kill several and leave behind evidence that Johnny is the killer. Johnny not believing that he is a killer consults with Dr. Walton, who can't find anything wrong. Bridges with Johnny's face is approached by Raleigh, who shows him the Nightman suit which he takes after knocking Raleigh out. Johnny bumps into Bridges' female accomplice and starts to get visions from her of Bridges; she was about to zap him when Johnny grabs and locks her up. Johnny finds Raleigh unconscious and discovers that Bridges got the suit but Johnny has another suit which he puts on and goes after him. They battle in the air and Bridges falls to his death... or does he?
About Night Man
Night Man is an American action/adventure/sci-fi series that aired in syndication from September 15, 1997 to May 17, 1999. The series is loosely based on a comic book published by Malibu Comics and was created by Steve Englehart and developed for television by Glen A. Larson. It stars Matt McColm as the title character, a superhero whose real name was Johnny Domino, a saxophonist. Englehart would write three episodes of the series. Night Man is also one of the few series to cross over with characters from Larson's previous series: in the episode "Manimal", Johnny allies with Professor Jonathan Chase, the star of the short-lived 1980s' series Manimal.
