synopsis
Tonight's case load for Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) is a hectic one indeed. The two patrolmen run the gamut from protecting a grocer from a knife-wielding bandt, and hauling in a hippie who has supped too full of "controlled substances." The central crisis involves a runaway boy (played by future Bonanza regular Mitch Vogel) who becomes lost in a cave.
