Four months away from retirement, hard-bitten narcotics cop Eddie Boggs (Ned Beatty) oversteps his bounds, brutalizing a drug-dealing stoolie and planting a weapon on the man. In his efforts to cover up his misdeeds, Boggs succeeds only making things worse. Played out against all this intrigue are the efforts by Stone (Karl Malden) and Robbins (Richard Hatch) to get the goods on a particularly insidious drug ring called the Tucson Connection. Susan Oliver, best remembered to Star Trek fans as the "Green Girl" in the original Star Trek pilot film, appears as Eddie Boggs' long-suffering wife. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
