This episode of Kojak starts with detectives Harry Guardino and Jed Allan trying to bust a counterfeit lottery ticket racket. But Allan who is a flashy guy who doesn't always play by the rules gets himself killed and the killers get away because of something that Guardino is hiding from his late partner and the rest of Manhattan South including Lt. Kojak.
Guardino finds out that the stomach ulcers he thinks he has is now an inoperable and terminal cancer and he's got only a few months to live. Now with absolutely nothing to lose, he gets very unorthodox and throws away the rulebook to bring down Allan's killers.
The episode is dominated by Harry Guardino and his final confrontation with racket kingpin Malachi Throne is some of the best acting ever seen on a Kojak episode. Fans of that series should not miss this one.
