Wounded and in a state of shock, Officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) is held captive by two escaped convicts in a small café. Malloy's partner is told that unless he frees the convicts' comrade from jail, Pete will be killed. It is at this point that the department's S.W.A.T. team swings into action--and this being a Jack Webb production, the viewer is given a crash course on this elite unit's modus operandi.
