Greer and another veteran cop have both been frustrated by a drug pusher they've been trying to nail, who has twice had his case dismissed on legal technicalities. Finally, the third time appears to be the clincher, as the man is caught at an airport with a case full of heroin.

The trio tries to help a boy in his search for his father, who came to L.A. from West Virginia hoping to find work. It soon becomes apparent that there are people who don't want them to find the man, and that he is in debt to loan sharks.
