Original air date: 22 January 1967
This episode was not rerun
Spotting an addict talking to a police officer, two dope pushers beat him to death, but a veteran detective played by Andrew Duggan is suspected of the cop’s death, and is suspended. When a newsman takes up the cry of police brutality, a riot threatens to break out.
This episode, sadly, reflected the high level of unrest that would result in riots in Detroit and Newark later that year, as well as in other cities.
- Once again, both Andrew Duggan and Paul Mantee make appearances.
