Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
Mark (Don Mitchell) comes face to face with the Blue Berets, a group of Chicano dropouts turned freedom fighters. The leader of the group is Manolo Rodriguez (played by former UCLA drama student A Martinez in his first important TV role), who is determined to fight for the rights of his people--even if it means using a cache of stolen weapons to back up his rhetoric. Should Ironside (Raymond Burr) arrest the Blue Berets on a charge of conspiracy to commit treason, or should he wait the group out until wiser heads prevail? (Intriguingly, the word "machismo" was so little known in 1969 that the original TV Guide synopsis for this episode had to provide a definition!) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
