After a retired police officer is found beaten, Kojak discovers that the ex-cop had been keeping an over-the-hill thoroughbread race horse in the police stables, in defiance of department rules. Now the old nag is missing, and Kojak wants to know why. Meanwhile, the horse's abductors are spreading the word throughout the racing world that they have a very valuable foal for sale to the highest bidder. Future Taxi costar Jeff Conaway appears in a supporting role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
