Episode Recap

From CHiPs Online:
A family going on vacation forgets their baby in the confusion of packing. After the theme, Ponch and Jon chase a speeding Corvette. After the 'vette is pulled over and the driver is set loose, it is stolen. Soon after that, a trucker finds the baby and has someone tell Ponch and Jon. After dropping off the baby at Central, a sky-diver is rescued from a highway overpass by Ponch on a crane.

That night, Ponch and Jon show up to baby sit, but don't do a very good job. Meanwhile, Mrs. Downey goes to the store to get more booze and her car is stolen. The next day, Ponch and Jon stop "Martians" driving an unusual car without plates.

After the briefing, Mrs. Downey is looking for her '56 Caddy at Central. In her typical fashion, she gives Getraer orders. On patrol, Mary 3 and 4 find a dumpster that gets loose and rolls downhill. It refuses to pull over for them and eventually hits a station wagon.

At Central, the 85-year-old Mrs. Downey gets a ride home from Baricza. Soon the baby is returned to its family. Meanwhile, Mrs. Downey has Baricza going in circles. When the call comes in for her car, Baricza drops her off and responds with Ponch and Jon in the lead. The CHP arrives at the car thieves' hideout and busts them all. Mrs. Downey arrives back at Central and takes her car. On her way out, she backs over Sarge's motorcycle.
