Pepper (Angie Dickinson) is ordered to protect a political candidate who's in favor of law & order, safe neighborhoods, and decency. That's all you need to know to figure out how this is going to play out. This law & order candidate is (surprise!) an evil person who resorts to setting up opponents for crimes and attempting blackmail (beginning back when she was in high school with Pepper). Amelia Boyer (Laraine Stephens) is aided in her nefarious schemes by bright young couple, June & Jim Brennan (Susan Blanchard & Daniel Benton). Don Galloway, in his second appearance on the show, plays Amelia's opponent, the incumbent, Councilman Grant. Although the writer doesn't provide us any information as to *his* politics, he doesn't need to: It's very clear Councilman Grant represents a cardboard cut-out of the good guy opposing the heinous law & order candidate. Hollywood's been doing it since before this show, and is still doing it today. It certainly would make for a nice change if they ever made the law & order candidate the good guy!
