Efrem Zimbalist gets hired by police lieutenant Dick Foran because he's sure his son is about to commit a criminal act. Foran does not like the fact that his son Peter Brown is being influenced by pool hustler Sammy Davis, Jr. Davis in fact is about to make a big score and he's worked it out pretty good.
What Bailey&Spencer do is send in their young operator Kookie in and Edd Byrnes is far better to bridge the generation gap. Kookie certainly is the man for the job.
Turns out Davis is in a bit rebellion against his father Roy Glenn. Davis turns in a fine performance and this one you might want to check out to see how it ends for these would be criminals.
