S02:E24 - Murder on Stage 17

A down-and-out movie clown lives like a hermit in a major motion picture studio - appearing long enough to kill his former enemies in "Murder on Stage 17." Plastic explosives are switched for a small special effects smoke device and a bit player is killed on a movie set. Starsky and Hutch enter the case as stuntmen on the film. They are subjected to every possible humi-liation, (real fights and repeated beers in the face), before they discover a former movie funnyman, long thought dead, as a possible suspect. The man, whose career failed years before, dons costumes and makeup disguises to prowl the lot - killing those he feels thwarted his shot at stardom. Soon enough, he sets his sights on Starsky and Hutch. 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 Earl Bellamy Writer Ben Masselink
