Plot
As the show opens, we see a woman steal a Rolls Royce from a funeral. While Ponch is reading his mail, another Rolls is stolen elsewhere.
Back at Central, Ponch tells Jon and Getraer that he plans to win a fortune on a game show.
Out on the freeway, Baricza, Ponch and Jon chase a stolen Rolls. It cuts off a chicken truck and causes some to fall off and get loose. After Ponch and Jon lose the Rolls, they return to help Grossie, Baricza, and some other people help catch the chickens.
Later, while eating at Carney's Express Limited, Ponch and Jon discuss who they'll take to watch the game show.
Out on the freeway, Ponch and Jon stop a Rolls with no plates driven by soap opera stars.
Off duty, Ponch and Jon are out naming prices in the department store. Ponch gets all the prices exactly right.
The next day, a speeder forces a car off the road and down a hill. When our heroes catch the speeder, he confesses to forcing the car off. Ponch and Jon race back to check it out. The guy can't speak English, but has a medic alert bracelet that says he's a diabetic. Ponch saves the day by giving the guy some of the candy he keeps in his saddlebag.
Meanwhile, a woman drives a Rolls right out of the showroom floor.
The next day at Central, Ponch finds his picture on the front page of the paper with the chickens. After the briefing, Ponch gets a tennis racquet as a gift from the diabetic.
Out on the streets, Ponch and Jon find a kid in the middle of the street telling his dead dog to get up. After getting the dog of the street, another Rolls is stolen. Ponch, Jon, Baricza, and Grossman go on overtime to find it. Ponch and Jon end up on the freeway just in front of it. After pulling off the freeway, they follow it to a warehouse on a pier. The crooks notice the "CHiPpies" and speed off and hide in a used car lot. Jon feels the hoods of the cars to see which one is hot. They find the crooks in the car next to the Rolls and arrest them.
That night at the game show, Ponch is called and gets to play Name Your Price. The prize is the same motorcycle that Ponch rides every day (Kawasaki Z1R 10-15cc with a double overhead cam, smoked bikini bearing, drilled brakes, and alloy wheels..."One of the finest and fastest street machines anywhere"). Ponch's final answer is $2 too high and he loses to a little old lady.
