Among the silliest scenes are the ones of the Miss Coroner Beauty pageant being held at the casino, who ever heard of such a thing and what was the purpose? I think it would have added some credibility to just say Quincy was going on vacation to Vegas and got pulled into the under cover operation rather than adding this nonsense to an episode which already had too much going on anyway. Jack Klugman is no Farrah Fawcett, and the over the top plots just do not work as well here.

As I was watching, I couldn't help but think that this would have made for a much better Charlie's Angels plot and there are two episodes of that series which I'm distinctly reminded of by this episode (The Vegas Connection and Pretty Little Angels All in a Row). The main problem is that the whole story is so unbelievable and campy that it's hard to take any of it serious. In many ways this is a highly entertaining episode with crime, murder, underworld types and Vegas entertainment all featured.
As he arrives, though, he finds out that he is already a part of the under cover police operation. The police and federal agents are called in and devise a plan for Quincy to pose as selling the diamonds to obtain evidence against the criminals who were supposed to purchase them in the first place, but Quincy refuses and heads to Las Vegas to judge the Miss Coroner's Beauty Pageant. Later at the coroner lab, Quincy (Jack Klugman) conducts the autopsy and discovers that the man had diamonds surgically implanted into his body to resemble a pacemaker.
The man who poisoned him removes a briefcase from the victim which he believes contains diamonds he was transporting. Hot Ice begins at the airport with a man being poked by a cane containing a poisonous tip, but before this can take affect he walks into the path of a bus and is killed.
