Pre-"Rocky" Sylvester Stallone co-stars as Rick Daly, a hung-ho young officer who is in Theo's squad and who idolizes him, but perhaps, does not understand his nature. Kojak is a just man first and a cop second. He demands 100% truth, as raw, ugly and painful as it may be for himself and others. And, if the Greek harbinger of justice gets a whiff of a rat, he will dig until exhumation is complete and let the bones fall where they may.
