Reed and Malloy respond to a dispute in a park, where elderly woman Edna Digby (Lillian Bronson) tries to stop painter Andre Pochek from selling a painting that she considers indecent. To resolve the issue (due to the seller needing a new permit and being short on money) Malloy buys the painting and puts it in the back of the cruiser. It becomes a frequent topic of discussion despite Malloy's dislike for the painting, and when Malloy tries to sell it to another officer, the officer only buys the frame, leaving him with the painting. Calls include a man trying to retrieve a valuable coin from a toy dispenser, a potential "peeping tom" who is actually a city employee using a telescope to check meters to avoid dogs, a repo man trying to widen a door in a house he is trying to repossess furniture from, and an ex-football star-turned-robber who flees into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
