synopsis
In their efforts to arrest an injured burglary suspect, Officers Malloy (Martin Milner) and Reed (Kent McCord) encounter resistance in the form of a rampaging street gang. Elsewhere, the two cops are summoned to an apartment house, where the residents are up in arms over a rather unusual family "pet"--a full-grown lion. The guest cast includes Art Metrano, a comedian on the verge of stardom by virtue of his classic "bad magician" routine.
