NYC cop partners Steve Carella (Robert Lansing) and Peter Byrne (Douglas Rodgers) thought it would be business as usual when they investigated a junkie's death. They'd be proven very wrong when the client list of the dealer (Felice Orlandi) responsible included Laura (Kathy Carlyle)... Byrne's daughter and Carella's fiancée. Gritty take on the Ed McBain "87th Precinct" novel, adapted by Harold Robbins, co-stars John Astin, Sloan Simpson, Beatrice Pons; sole directing credit for noted editor Gene Milford. 81 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
