S2, E24: A down-and-out movie clown lives like a hermit in a major motion picture studio -- appearing long enough to kill his former enemies in "Murder on Stage 17." Plastic explosives are switched for a small special effects smoke device and a bit player is killed on a movie set. Starsky and Hutch enter the case as stuntmen on the film. They are subjected to every possible humi-liation, (real fights and repeated beers in the face), before they discover a former movie funnyman, long thought dead, as a possible suspect. The man, whose career failed years before, dons costumes and makeup disguises to prowl the lot - killing those he feels thwarted his shot at stardom. Soon enough, he sets his sights on Starsky and Hutch.
