synopsis
In a departure from the usual Adam-12 format, Officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) narrates the life story of his former partner Tom Porter (Mark Goddard), who was killed in the line of duty. Malloy recalls his friendship with Porter, which began when both men were rookies at the police academy. Also reflected upon is Porter's home life with his wife Marge (Rachel Roman) and their children. Other than Martin Milner's narration and a few opening comments by series producer Jack Webb, this unique documentary-style drama contains no dialogue.
