Trying to avoid inevitable violence, Bumper (George Kennedy) searches for a bookie's collection man who fled with a week's worth of receipts. Bumper's beat is plaguedby crooks wielding unusual weapons: an ice-pick-armed thief and a couple of aimless ex-cons equipped with a 20-millimeter antitank gun.

Bumper makes use of an alcoholic, down-and-out attorney called The Counselor to close down a bar for crooks and nab a sadistic hood named Sally G.(John Crawford). The bar atmosphere, Leonard Stone's Counselor, and the appearance of Joanna Moore as Molly, one of the hood's victims, give this effort the kind of seedy flavor it needs.

Bumper (George Kennedy) grows philosophical about his personal laws, despite the fact that an aggrieved message parlor operator, Tina (Salome Jens), may cost him his badge. Along with the customary police series plots, which means putting the heat on Bumper Morgan's cop on the beat, the George Kennedy series specializes in old broads. This week Bumper faces abuse from Tina, a massage parlor manager, and takes it without flinching. Bumper also contemplates a wrestler with a penchant for wrecking cars. Harold Sakata, Kennedy's sidekick on his "Sarge" series, goes into his violent act and picks up a paycheck.
