After Baretta's childhood friend Eddie is killed, he takes on the obligation of a pregnant widow who is addicted to smack. He "kidnaps" her in an attempt to wean her off drugs to prevent the baby's being born addicted as well. His CI helps Baretta get justice.

Baretta's best friend, a parole officer, is murdered after telling Baretta that a model who supposedly killed herself months earlier is alive and well in Mexico.

Baretta tries to nail a seemingly untouchable crime czar by placing the aging man under painfully overt 24 hour/day surveillance.
