synopsis
In the opening episode of Adam-12's second season, patrol officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) is none too thrilled when he and his partner Jim Reed (Kent McCord) are assigned to do community-relations work. Malloy is particularly uncomfortable when he is called upon to deliver a lecture at an elementary school, especially since he'd rather be preparing for an upcoming departmental track meet. But the hard-bitten cop finally shows his human side when he takes a trouble youngster under his wing and helps the boy qualify for the LAPD Junior Olympics. Featured in this episode are two busy TV child actors, former Munsters costar Butch Patrick and future Waltons regular Jon Walmsley.
