Adam-12 launches its seventh season with the first episode of a two-part story. When officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) haul in a pint-sized lawbreaker (Lee H. Montgomery, they assume it is the kid's first offense. Soon, however, they learn that the boy is really 14 years old, that he's been using an alias, and that he already has built up a lengthy criminal record. After a confrontation with the boy's overprotective, in-denial mother (June Lockhart), Pete takes it upon himself to straighten the kid out by sending him to a summer camp for troubled teens.
