Storyline
Plot Summary |
When a police officer is shot arresting a car thief, Captain Barnaby uses his skills and contacts to track down the culprits and uncovers a bank heist plan in the process. Barnaby has no qualms about bending the law to achieve his ends, including trumped up charges to persuade his only witness to cooperate or detaining some call girls to coerce their madam to help him. In the meantime he deals with everyday police business, juggling seemingly trivial matters with more serious ones.

Quotes |
[Two people can be seen in an apartment. One of them is a man named Jack Hartrampf. The other is a woman named Vickie Webb. As some music plays, Vickie looks outside the door for a few seconds. After that, she closes the door starts to approach Jack]
Vickie Webb: All clear. Jack Hartrampf: Are you sure? Vickie Webb: I'm sure, I didn't see nobody. Jack Hartrampf: I'd better go now, Vickie. Vickie Webb: Will you call me? Jack Hartrampf: First chance I can. [the two of them share a quick embrace before Jack heads to the door. He opens it, and after looking around for a few seconds, closes the door and begins to descend the stairs] See more » |
