The story

LAPD Sergeant Joe Friday's nephew and namesake, whose anachronistic views reflect those of his deceased uncle, is involuntarily assigned a cocky, streetwise new partner, Pep Streebek, as Friday's previous longtime partner in the Robbery-Homicide Division, Frank Smith, recently quit the department without notice after their 12 years together to buy a goat farm in Ukiah. Their contrasting styles clash at first, with Friday criticizing Streebek's attitude, hairstyle and wardrobe. However, they start to bond while investigating a series of bizarre thefts.
