synopsis
A vengeful hoodlum accuses Lt. Kojak (Telly Savalas) of accepting a $3000 bribe. With Internal Affairs breathing down his neck, Kojak endeavors to clear his name. Complicating matters is a politically ambitious district attorney who intends to make a name for himself by bringing Kojak down. This episode was originally slated to air on February 8, 1976, but was moved forward one week when another episode, "A Grave Too Soon", was rescheduled as Kojak's Season Three finale.
