Summary
British Detective Inspector Roger Hart (Ron Moody) is transferred from Scotland Yard to a police precinct in San Francisco, where his constant bumbling wreaks havoc upon his fellow officers, particularly his new partner Detective Jennifer Dempsey (Cassie Yates) and his superior Lieutenant Vince de Gennaro (Michael Durrell). However, Hart proves to have a great many skills which help him to solve crimes and catch criminals.
Each half-hour episode includes a number of slapstick moments, such as when Hart accidentally knocks Dempsey off a pier and into the water twice in one day. Also, each episode has a laugh track.
