synopsis
No one is more grief-stricken than Kojak (Telly Savalas) when his old friend, a veteran detective, is found murdered with $10,000 in cash on his body. It appears that the victim was on the take, and as such has been slated for what the NYPD calls "burial with dishonor." Kojak has only 48 hours to ferret out the truth and clear his late comrade's name. In an interesting example of "first-generation" casting, this episode boasts appearances by the fathers of actors Stacy Keach and Bruno Kirby.
