About

LAPD Sgt. Joe Friday -- the equally straight-laced nephew of the famous police sergeant of the same name -- is paired up with a young, freewheeling detective named Pep Streebeck. After investigating some strange robberies at the local zoo and the theft of a stockpile of pornographic magazines, they uncover cult activity in the heart of the city and are hot on the case to figure out who's behind it all.

Human Nature and Control of Urges
Pep Are you crazy? Silvia Wiss wanted you!
Joe Now let me tell you something, Streebeck. There are two things that clearly differentiate the human species from animals. One, we use cutlery. Two, we're capable of controlling our sexual urges. Now, you might be an exception, but don't drag me down in your private Hell.
Pep You've got a lot of repressed feelings. Don't you, Friday? Must be what keeps your hair up.
Unpleasant Thoughts About Sausage Production
Pep You know the kinds of things that can fall into an industrial sausage press? Not excluding rodent hairs and... bug excrement?
Joe I hate you, Streebeck.
