Kojak dabbles in social issues. Drugs and prostitution.
The story opens with the death of Trudy Stein, a drug addict and a hooker. Kojak is surprised that the press got here so quickly.
Crusading journalist Daniel Pope has an interest in the story. Trudy was going to help him with an expose. Only Pope is later shot dead by drug dealer Bert Podis (Harris Yulin.)
He is league with rich mama's boy Spencer Galen who finances Podis's operation. In return Podis supplies Galen with hookers.
Pope's widow Cheryl n drug addict who went clean decides to investigate her husband's murder. She makes out that she has lapsed back into drugs. Cheryl finds a weak link in Audrey, a drug addicted hooker and a friend of Podis.
Harris well known as the judge who did not believe in ghosts in Ghostbusters 2, shines as the baddie. Ripping off the girls and Galen by hiking the price of drugs.
Kojak just needs to follow what Cheryl is up to. Only realising later that she is at risk. Telly Savalas's body double shows up for th action scenes at the end.
