The focus in this episode is on ex-cop Billy Truman (
Tom Ewell), manager of the fleabag hotel that undercover cop Tony Baretta (
Robert Blake) calls home. Billy is among the patrons of a roadside tavern who are taken hostage by a particular nasty gang of robbers. Naturally, Baretta regards it as his sacred duty to rescue his old pal. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
