synopsis
In the police penal code, a "Misdemeanor 415" translates as "Disturbing the Peace"--and Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) have a doozy of a "415" on their hands. The two cops are summoned time and again to the home of an unhappily married couple (Jed Allan, Jean Allison), whose noisy arguments are driving everyone in their neighborhood crazy. It would be nice to report that Jim and Pete are able to convince the couple to calm down and patch up their differences...but the final scene of this episode yields tragically different results.
