It's an early example of a Buddy Cop Show.Freebie (Caan) is a violent, corrupt, thieving racist. Bean (Arkin) is a neurotic Mexican-American who's prone to dramatic emotional outbursts. The two of them are detectives, working with the SFPD Intelligence Squad, who have spent fourteen months trying to bust racketeer Red Meyers (Jack Kruschen). Finally, they find evidence while digging through his trash; now all they need is for their witness, Harry Motley, to testify against him. Unfortunately, Motley is out of town, while a hit man from Detroit is also after Meyers. Freebie and Bean are determined to keep Meyers alive for the few days until Motley returns... even if it means committing mass destruction of property.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Adapted into a TV series in 1980, which starred Tom Mason as Freebie and Héctor Elizondo as Bean and aired on CBS for all of nine episodes.

Angrish: After Freebie drives the car off a ramp to jump a train during a pursuit despite Bean's protest, Bean turns and glares at Freebie before attempting to strangle him. Once Freebie fends him off, Bean only responds with growling until they catch back up with the criminal.

Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Freebie and Bean break into Motley's apartment and question a Creepy Crossdresser (Christopher Morley) who is in his bathtub. When they're about to leave, the man protests, "Hey, aren't you gonna give me the third degree? Knock me around a little bit, a little S&M? I'll yell and scream, if that's what gets you off."
