It was a hoot to see Kojak the quintessential NY cop in Vegas (Baby). Crocker is kidnapped along with a prisoner he was taking to NY, a theatrical agent and half of an identical twin topless magic act. Of course, this means Kojak must fly to Vegas to help solve the crime because Crocker might leave a message that only Kojak would understand. It sounds absurd, and it is, but what the hell? They had to get Kojak to Vegas somehow. Episode is worthwhile just to see scene with Kojak and Liberace, where the former gets an autographed picture for Saperstein's mother! Our favorite NY police lieutenant ends up driving around the Nevada desert in a yellow Jeep with Pricilla Barnes, playing the topless magic act twin who wasn't kidnapped. Kojak is nearly topless himself at this point, wearing a NY Yankees windbreaker with NO SHIRT underneath! The script writer contrived to have the other twin transported to the desert so both of them can end up embracing Kojak.

Bobby Crocker is at the Las Vegas airport when he and a drug dealer prisoner are snatched along with two women. One is an agent and the other is a showgirl with a magic act with her twin sister.

The crime was most professionally done, but the thing who was the real intended victim? The obvious answer would be some kind of rescue of Kevin Dobson's prisoner, but not necessarily.

In any event Telly Savalas is on the next plane to Vegas and he joins with the Clark County Sheriff's deputies.

All I can say it was a good thing Kojak and his cop instincts were on the scene. We don't know what it was all about until the very end.

Liberace makes a guest appearance here. That's for authenticity to make sure we know this is Las Vegas.

As the Kojak series winds down so obviously does the writing team. This was another episode on this disc and the end of the season where the story and the actors just phoned it in. I strongly disagree with the review that suggests this was a nice change of pace. When you have a great series and great actors, why do you want a change of pace? The backing soundtrack was the perfect cherry on top. No other way to describe it than corny. I understand they're bringing back writers and directors from the early years to handle the upcoming Kojak movies. Thank goodness!
