Pete Malloy is a six year veteran of the Los Angeles police force. Malloy is planning to resign from the police department following the death of his partner, who was killed in the line of duty while trying to foil an armed robbery. Malloy is persuaded to stay on and train a new partner: rookie officer Jim Reed, fresh out of the police academy and a two-year stint in the Army. Reed has a lot of potential, but is green and overeager. Reed disobeys Malloy's direct order, but succeeds in safely arresting several armed persons.
