- A Japanese man accuses a US Naval officer (from a visiting aircraft carrier) of raping his teenage daughter. Harm, Mac, and Bud investigate; a rear admiral applies political pressure. The Japanese authorities indict the defendant, an ensign, take him into custody, and conduct a trial, which goes poorly; it goes even worse after the prosecutor catches the ensign in a lie. The Japanese court refuses to allow a US lawyer to defend him, and it provides a Japanese one who's not well qualified for a criminal defense. A major event sends the JAG himself to Japan. Eventually Harm takes part in a conversation which persuades a witness to step forward and explain what happened.—DocRushing
- The episode starts with a softball game with JAG HQ versus the Navy Chaplains, however a delicate situation with respect to US - Japan relations prompts Admiral Chegwidden to send Harm, Mac and Bud to Japan. Ensign Terry Guitry (Sean Murray) is accused of raping a Japanese woman, and the case is made even more difficult by off-the-cuff comments to the press from the commanding officer of the defendant (Muse Watson). Harm and Mac must struggle with both the Japanese legal system (the disparities between Japanese and American courtroom procedures make for a culture clash) and reluctant witnesses to clear the young man who has a life imprisonment sentence awaiting him if he is found guilty.
- Harm and Mac must don their diplomatic hats when they're dispatched to Tokyo to represent an ensign accused of raping a young Japanese girl. Once the trial begins, the disparities between Japanese and American courtroom procedures put Harm at odds with the ensign's Japanese defense attorney, in turn putting US/Japanese relations at an all-time low. When what began as the trial of an ensign turns into a trial of the United States Navy, Harm and Mac realize that in order to defend the ensign from life in a Japanese prison, they must actually solve the rape case on foreign soil.
