The adventures of two young plainclothes police
officers. They were both swinging bachelors, and
their personalities meshed perfectly, they almost
seemed to operate as one. Starsky was the streetwise
member of the team, and Hutch the better-educated,
soft-spoken one. Together they tackled cases in the
roughest neighborhood in town, full of pimps,
muggers, dope pushers, and big-time hoodlums.
Sometimes they went undercover, but often they
were highly visible, racing around the city, tires
squealing, in Starsky's bright Red 1974 Ford Torino.
Captain Dobey was their quick-tempered but
understanding boss, and Huggy Bear their
flamboyant informant.
