Police Capt. Adam Greer recruits a trio of "hippie cops" with checkered pasts to infiltrate the counterculture and nail the adult criminals preying on clueless young Southern Californians. This "youth squad" is made up of Pete, whose wealthy parents kicked him out of their posh Beverly Hills home; Linc, a survivor of the ghetto; and Julie, a former hooker arrested for vagrancy.

The squad tries to protect a TV clown (Milton Berle) from a second murder attempt; guest William Michael Berle, Keenan Wynn.

A blackmailer (Lou Antonio) targets Julie's boyfriend (Robert Foxworth), a doctor; guest Billy Dee Williams.

The squad works at a used-car lot to infiltrate a drug-smuggling ring; guests Larry Blyden, Ruta Lee.

Fleeing robbers (Scott Marlowe, Hal England) steal a car containing lab pigeons infected with encephalitis; guest Lynne Marta.
