synopsis
What would a Jack Webb-produced TV series be without at least one narcotics-related episode per season? On this occasion, Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) participate in a stakeout to trap a particularly vicious drug dealer, and also come to the rescue of a runaway teenage girl who has overdosed in a hippie commune (Classic dialogue exchange: "Hi." "I don't know--are you?") Curiously, Robert Donner, appearing in his recurring Adam-12 role as police informer TeeJay, was misidentified as "Ralph Donner" in the original TV Guide listings.
