Michael Burns plays the young, eager policeman Danny Powers, newly promoted to detective. Lt. Crowley (Earl Holliman) and the other detectives are skeptical, but Pepper (Angie Dickinson) thinks they should give him a break. She tries to counsel patience, but Powers rejects her advice. Willy Jaques (Paul Williams) is his amazing snitch, who he thinks will be his ticket to a fast ride to the top as a respected detective. But Willy is running a more-complicated double game, and Powers ends up with egg on his face. Willy's accomplice in his schemes is a sleazy (but very distinguished-looking - and sober!) lawyer, Foster Brooks. Along the way, Willy bumps off the equally distinguished-looking Louis Nye when he realizes Willy was scamming him. (Tip to all TV characters: Never turn your back on a bad guy -- Somehow, they *never* learn!) Pepper and the gang are left to sort everything out.
