Episode Summary
An elderly couple, desperate to draw attention to the poor living conditions in their old folks home, rig the trunk of their car with fifty sticks of dynamite and a timer and plan to set it off outside City Hall. But the car is stolen by two thugs on a spree of armed liquor store robberies, unaware that the car is loaded with explosives ticking towards detonation in the trunk. Starsky and Hutch initially are on the hunt for the two robbers but when they learn that the car is rigged with dynamite, they have mere hours to track it down before disaster strikes. ''moreless

ADD TRIVIA-
On the DVD full version the car actually went halfway down the alley and you can see the tire come off in the shot.
Edit - As Starsky dives out of the green Chevy near the end, the trunk lid can clearly be seen to completely fall off the car. Seconds later it is intact and is blown off the car when the bomb explodes. Edit
- The white '63 Chevy is shown to have the bomb in back well before it has been painted green by thieves Wilber and Greg. However, when the bomb is shown, the steel-wheeled spare tire is clearly shown painted green. On cars back then, the steel wheels were commonly painted the same color as the car. Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- Although not an official alternative title, occasionaly this episode's title is confused with the 1976 terrorist thriller, Black Sunday. Edit
- The closing credits of this episode use an edit of the season's opening theme tune, the only episode to do as such - all other episodes in the season have the season's regular closing theme. Edit
- Bobbie Mitchell makes her first of several appearances in the series as Diane Sills, a waitress at Huggy Bear's bar, but is uncredited on-screen for this episode as she is for several of her appearances in the series. Edit
