While in a New Jersey town Kojak interferes with a young man's attempt to pick up a girl over and fight her boyfriend to do so. It turns out the young man is Mike Viggers Jr., whose mobster father, well known to Kojak, effectively runs the town. Humiliated by Kojak, young Viggers determines to have the detective killed and is not going to be deterred even by his father's strong objections. Written by anonymous
Frankly, I don't get the meaning of the title to this episode, but the story is another good one about a gangster family, one in which the father stays true to the "code" but his young son is out-of-control.
What's a papa going to do? Does he help a cop or let his son murder the cop (whom he knows: a guy named "Theo Kojak."
The hot-headed kid "Michael Viggers Jr." (Michael Cristoper) has just had his world blow up on him and, as a last act of revenge, is planning a hit job on "Theo." It doesn't take long for word to get out into the street and into police headquarters. Everyone knows it is going to happen.....but when, and how? As you can tell, this winds up to be a good suspensor.
