In King's Harbor, Southern California, Cody Allen (Perry King) and Nick Ryder (Joe Penny) are former MPs during the Vietnam War. Nick flies charters out of his creaky pink helicopter, The Screaming Mimi and Cody has his boat Riptide. They're barely making ends meet and Cody talks Nick into being private detectives. They recruit computer nerd Murray "Boz" Bozinsky (Thom Bray). He has a blow out from his successful company and run off with the boys and his robot Roboz. They are hounded by no-non-sense police Lt. Ted Quinlan.
This is one of Stephen J. Cannell's lesser creations. Its most notable character is a run down helicopter. It's a great counter to competitor show like Airwolf. I almost forgot about Roboz but it all comes back to me as soon as I see it. King and Penny are functional partners but they're not as fun as they think they are. They have some banter but they are too similar. This is campy fun from the 80s but it's not really great television.
