Starsky and Hutch zero in on narcotics, prostitution and bookmaking operations of a gangland leader in "Bust Amboy." After a raid on Amboy's funeral parlor, a front for prostitution, and a hit on Amboy's bookmaking bank, Starsky and Hutch are shocked when those they arrested are released even before their reports are completed. Amboy, the kingpin of the crime combine, has legally circumvented them. Now, their only hope of busting his operations is to intercept Amboy's expected big shipment of drugs before the drugs can hit the street.

The intrepid cops go undercover at a mental hospital, with Starsky as a patient and Hutch as an orderly, to investigate a number of mysterious patient deaths that have occurred at the asylum. With a female journalist, also undercover as a patient, they uncover that someone in the hospital is illegally using patients as human guinea-pigs for the testing of behaviour modification drugs...

Norman Tinker in an introspective mood insists he is a weirdo, despite Tom Corbett's assurances to the contrary. To prove his point, he invites Tom and Eddie to spend the weekend with him in his off-beat apartment.

Tom restores Norman's confidence, telling him he has the one ingredient that makes him fit for the job -- love for Eddie.
