About this episode
In this episode of "21st Precinct," Captain Frank Kennelly oversees the bustling, crime-ridden precinct in New York City. The day begins with a call about a robbery, leading to the arrest of a burglar, Alvin Board, who climbs a tree to escape police. As officers attempt to coax him down, it's revealed that he has committed multiple burglaries using a clever disguise as a window washer. Despite possessing stolen cash and a purse from one of the victims, Board remains uncooperative in revealing details about other crimes. Concurrently, officers investigate Mrs. Breider, the owner of the stolen money, who initially denies ownership due to family tensions and fear of her husband's reaction to her financial secrecy regarding their daughter. As the precinct grapples with personal dramas and criminal activity, the typically chaotic day closes with the police navigating the complexities of both law enforcement and human emotions in their efforts to restore order.
