synopsis
Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) are surrounded by a group of more colorful victims and perpetrators than usual when they're assigned to the Venice Division. In a lighter moment, the two cops haul in a publicity-seeking starlet (played by that fabulous Oscar-night exhibitionist Edy Williams) who is seen sunbathing in the nude at the behest of her press agent (Larry Hovis. And on a grimmer note, an obscene phone caller decides to drop in on his terrified victim. The supporting cast includes the redoubtable Erin Fleming, who had in 1973 gained a measure of notoreity as the constant companion of octogenarian comedian Groucho Marx.
