Original Air Date: 27 September 1972 Reed and Malloy spend most of their time in the countryside surrounding Los Angeles. Among their more mundane tasks is to stop an erratic driver under the influence of drugs and alcohol. However, the bigger catch is alerted to them by Teri, a girl on horseback, who saw a light plane land in secluded field. Reed and Malloy investigate to see the plane and a departing jeep off in the distance. When they arrive just in time as the plane is about to take off, they flag the plane to a halt. The rented plane is piloted by Paul Stocker, a cocky but "clean" individual who had all the right answers as to why he landed in the field. Although they know he was up to no good, they have nothing to hold him on so let him go. They later learn from Sgt. Marco and Det. Edwards of the DEA that this scenario has all the hallmarks of a new Mexican drug smuggling ring, the use of the rented plane a device to feign ignorance by the pilot if anything is found on the plane itself. Thus the only way to stop the smugglers is to catch them in the act of transferring the actual drugs at the drop offs. Luckily a few days later, Reed and Malloy have a chance encounter with Stocker. From that encounter, they run a check on some license plates which leads them to the jeep; the DEA officials now can tail the jeep for whenever the next drop is to take place. Reed and Malloy ask to be there when the bust is made just to see the smug look on Stocker's face wiped off.

They follow the only lead they have, that being the last happy place his parents took him to before his diabetic attack, to a pet store to buy a puppy. Elsewhere, Malloy's new girlfriend, Cathy, mans a hospital telephone hot-line, the hot-line threatening to go under due to lack of funds. One call has her worried, that from Sherry, a 15-year old junkie from a broken home who is threatening suicide to escape her troubled life. Sherry won't disclose where she is while she takes some "reds" supplied to her by her similarly junkie mother. Reed and Malloy need to find her before she ODs.
