The story begins with two cops trying to make an arrest. One is shot and injured badly...so badly that he'll never be a street cop again. Instead of taking a desk job, the injured Chip and is partner, Larry (Stephen Brooks and Robert Hooks) start their own private detective company. Their first case involves trying to find a mass murderer who killed five folks twelve years ago.
While the other reviewers (so far) have really liked this made for TV movie, I didn't. First, some of the characters really made no sense...particularly the sheriff played by Neville Brand. The surviving family member (Walter Brennan) also didn't behave very logically. But the biggest problem was that Robert Hooks' character made some HUGE logical leaps in order for them to find the killer--such huge ones that it completely took me out of the story. It's a shame, as some parts of this film were good.
By the way, this sure looked like a TV pilot episode....especially how the show ended. See it...see if you, too, see this.
