Iron Mike (a.k.a. Captain Mike Ferguson)Episode Number: 35 Season Num: 2 First Aired: Saturday December 18, 1976 Prod Code: 32 |
The crime-busting pair's suspicions are aroused when they spot highly respected Police Captain "Iron Mike" Ferguson accepting an envelope from an underworld kingpin. When Ferguson recruits the duo to aid on a stakeout, they learn that he is receiving tip-offs about various criminal activities in return for ignoring and covering for the crime kingpin's operations. It's resulting in getting a number of criminal organisations off the streets, but it means that Ferguson is ultimately a corrupt officer, and the pair are torn what to do...

(edit)
Although hinted at in several other episodes, this episode is notable for being the only time in the entire series that Huggy Bear is actually referred to as being a pimp. When Starsky & Hutch go to see him for some information, we see him trying to repair a scooter, with two of Huggy's girls, seemingly prostitutes, in the background; Hutch comments "That's a brilliant disguise, Huggy. Who'd ever think of looking for a pimp on a motor-scooter?". It isn't made clear whether Huggy actually is a pimp, or if it's just his latest guise for meeting with Starsky and Hutch.
