action

Theo Kojak initially deals with murder cases, for example a serial killer kills prostitutes by stuffing razor blades into their mouths so that the victims suffocate in agony on their own blood. With a provocation to the murderer, Kojak is able to lure him out of the reserve and put him. He has to find out that the perpetrator did not commit one of the murders, but that a copycat perpetrator had used his model.

When investigating a robbery on a jewelry store, Kojak finds out that the perpetrator is actually a victim. Because his wife was kidnapped and he can only save her if he successfully carries out this attack. He also has to solve an illegal adoption after a man was killed and has to find the culprits of a robbery on a car repair shop.

After another series of murders, Kojak has to find a professional killer who kills his victim with a shot in the back of the head, using specially prepared ammunition. Through the tip of an imprisoned gang boss, Kojak succeeds in luring the killer into a trap. He has to stop the sometimes murderous raids of three teenagers from the ghetto before they kill another victim and protect a jazz singer from a sinister stalker.

In his last case, Kojak has to find a realtor's murderer. A broken fingernail leads to the wife of his superior Frank McNeil, of all people, who had a relationship with the man. Kojak cannot rule out that he commissioned the murder out of jealousy. But in the end the policeman manages to find the real culprit.
