Still on probation, Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) obsesses over his involvement in a very minor fender-bender, much to the exasperation of his veteran partner Pete Malloy (Martin Milner). During the two officers' night-watch shift, they canvass a beat that takes them all the way from skid row to the suburbs. Jim and Pete's workload on this occasion include a runaway kid, a family quarrel, a homicide and a climactic high-speed chase. Future Brady Bunch costar Barry Williams appears unbilled. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
