This relatively short film (approximately 69 minutes) begins in a documentary fashion with the narrator showcasing traffic accidents in the Los Angeles area to highlight the need for motorcycle traffic cops. From that point, the film focuses on three young men by the names of "Chuck O'Flair" (Ralph Meeker), "Harry Whenlon" (Jeff Richards) and "Russ Hartley" (Robert Horton) who have just joined the Los Angeles Police Academy. Although they have never met before now and the each have much different personalities, they quickly become fast friends. So much so, that not long after graduating they all apply for duty with the motorcycle division. And it's during this time that they are tested like they have never been before. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that that was a low-budget, grade-B movie which is quite dated and suffers from some rather bad dialogue-in particular as it relates to Chuck O'Flair. Fortunately, the acting is solid and the plot picks up after the first 30 minutes so that everything manages to come together quite well by the end. That being said, while certainly not a blockbuster by any means, this turned out to be an okay film and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
