synopsis
With Adam-12 temporarily out of commission, Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) are temporarily assigned to "The Beast", the oldest and least reliable vehicle in the department. Not only does "The Beast" spew out dangerous pollutants wherever it travels, but the old heap also continually breaks down as Jim and Pete struggle manfully to answer their calls. This evening's case log includes a run-in with a beautiful woman (played by The Beverly Hillbillies' former "Elly May" Donna Douglas) who proves to be nothing but trouble.
