synopsis
Answering a public-disturbance call, Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) end up trying to mediate a bitter quarrel between neighbors Sidney Roemer (Dick Sargent) and Miles Wellman (James Callahan) over their joint ownership of a boat. The argument spreads over several days, with Jim and Pete repeatedly being summoned to break up Roemer and Wellman's latest set-to. Finally, the two cops are satisfied that the warring neighbors have seen the error of their ways and patched up their differences...until tragedy strikes.
