David Janssen stars in this Jack Webb production as James O'Hara, a small-town sheriff recruited by the US Treasury's Bureau of Customs. O'Hara's first assignment: To break up a gang of smugglers trafficking in hashish. First telecast April 2, 1971 on CBS, this film served as the pilot for the weekly TV series O'Hara, United States Treasury. For the purposes of the series, O'Hara expanded his field of operations to the IRS, the Secret Service, and the ATM--at least until his program was cancelled in 1972 after a single season on the air.
