    Another highly unusual episode of "Police Story".

    Ken Shaner (Claude Akins) and Al Boyd (Paul Burke) have been partners for a decade. However, recently Shaner has been behaving very strangely. He's been quiet and sullen when he's normally a fun guy to be with on the job. Additionally, he's suddenly begun taking chances-- bursting in on dangerous criminals instead of waiting for backup to arrive. At first Boyd thinks nothing of it, but when one suspect gets shot due to Shaner's gung ho actions, he's worried that his friend and partner is cracking up. What is going on with Shaner?!

    Once again, "Police Story" offers an episode that explores brand new territory for a cop show. I have never seen a plot like this one--and it's a great story--one well worth seeing. I'd say more about the story, but it would spoil the show--just watch this one.
