Mary Louise Weller

Jon has his hands full with an impressionable teenage girl who runs away--to his house. Meanwhile, Ponch tries to tame his fear of flying long enough to ride in a police helicopter. And the two CHP officers pursue an overloaded van only to find that it is jammed with the Los Angeles Rams cheerleaders on their way to a game at the Coliseum.

Jon and Ponch investigate a ring that steals heavy construction equipment.

Streetwise Detective David Starsky partners up with a more intellectual partner, Kenneth 'Hutch' Hutchinson, to protect citizens and patrol the streets of Bay City. They get their inside information from flamboyant bad-boy Huggy Bear and spar with their no-nonsense boss, Capt. Harold Dobey.
