 When District Attorney Gerard Darnelle s (William Fitzgerald) daughter Becky (Jonna Kae Volz) is kidnapped, he is caught between concurrent investigations (turf wars) by the Sparta police and the FBI. Benjamin Sloan (Claud Akins) is quickly identified as a likely suspect, but his motive is not clear at first. Chief Gillespie (Carroll O Connor) plays a wily game with the FBI in pursuing the case, but it is up to Captain Skinner (Alan Autry), Lieutenant Jamison (Hugh O Connor) and their four-footed friends to wrap up the chase.
