Proving equally adept whether posing as mobsters, dancers or street performers, the shrewd Dave Starsky and his sophisticated partner, Ken Hutchinson, are pressed into service on beats that now take them far from the mean streets of their Southern California home of Bay City. The glitzy Las Vegas Strip where a serial killer is preying on innocent chorus girls and a classy cruise ship that is the site of a deadly feud between organized crime kingpins are just two of the arenas for these veteran cops who are driven by an intense loyalty to each other. Aided by their savvy informant, Huggy Bear, and the no-nonsense Captain Dobey, and driving a snazzy red Ford Torino, Starsky & Hutch unflinchingly accept demanding undercover assignments that take them from the grittiest parts of town to the lofty halls of power to protect the innocent and see that justice is served.
