synopsis
This evening's case log includes a family of grifters who have been cheating elderly residents out of their money with a phony house-repair racket. The scam comes to an abrupt end when Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) arrive on the scene. Elsewhere, the two patrol officers investigate an arson attempt, haul in a drunk driver, and contend with a well-meaning but bungling "Good Samaritan."
