synopsis
Adam-12 moved from a Wednesday to a Tuesday-night timeslot with this episode, in which an out-of-uniform Jim Reed (Kent McCord) drops off a deposit at a bank--only to be taken hostage by a desperate pair of robbers. When the crooks find out that Reed is a cop, they hope to use him to bargain for their freedom...even though they have no intention of letting him get out alive. It is up to Jim's partner Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Sgt. MacDonald (William Boyett) to defuse the crisis and rescue their colleague.
