McCloud meets another fish out of water in the Big Apple...and, as usual, he ignores the Chief!

When this episode begins, McCloud is relegated to stolen car detail by the Chief to try, as usual, to keep him out of trouble. The first case ends up being a strange one....a HUGE guy named Bubba White (Bo Svenson) is in town with a car reported stolen back in Dayton, Ohio. But it's a weird case...he's not just some punk car thief but a man on a mission to find Mr. Farraday (Robert Webber) and make him pay him money he thinks he's owed. But this quest is a serious problem, as Farraday is a super-dangerous character...so McCloud decides to try to find Bubba before Farraday's goons.

This is a very unusual episode....and one of the better ones I've seen so far from the series. Much of it is because it is so unique and it's also really nice to see Svenson and Stephanie Powers guest starring...along with the classic film star, Joan Blondell, in a small role. Well written and interesting...and I hope more episodes are as good as this one.

By the way, if you have a chance, read Svenson's IMDB bio...it's VERY interesting and very unusual.
