Starsky & Hutch

A police death squad executes criminals who have received lenient court de-cisions in "The Committee." Starsky and Hutch capture a rapist but lose the chase to get his partner. They are surprised to see that the captured man is terrified that he will be shot instead of simply arrested. At the police station, a slick lawyer gets the criminal released on bail and Starsky is incensed. The released man's fears of being shot are somewhat justified when his partner on the loose is found executed in ritualistic gang-style. Once the police are suspected of the killing, Starsky is assigned to in-vestigate undercover. Pretending to be furious over another early release -on bail, he gets into an argument with Hutch, slugs him and is suspended from the force. Later, the "maverick" Starsky is approached by the death squad. They offer him membership - but to prove himself he must execute the slick lawyer who got his accused rapist off in the first place. With their guns trained on him, he is given the man he must kill and a revolver containing one bullet. David Soul stars as Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson and Paul Michael Glaser stars as Dave Starsky. Antonio Fargas also stars as Huggy Bear and Bernie Hamilton as Captain Dobey. Director George McCowan Writer Robert I. Holt
