Tony Baretta was an unconventional cop.
He was streetwise, single, with a decidedly funky lifestyle:
he holed up in apartment 2-C of the run-down King Edward Hotel
with his pet cockatoo Fred. He was usually seen in a T-shirt
and jeans, with his trademark cap pulled down over his forehead.
Being the orphaned son of poor Italian immigrans, Tony
knew the city inside out. He was a master of disguise,
and because of his rough appearance was able to infiltrate
such groups as motorcycle gangs and even "the Mob."
Needless to say, he refused to have a partner and always worked
alone. Inspector Shiller was his original boss, later succeeded
by Lt. Brubaker. Billy Truman was a retired cop who was a combined
manager and house detective at the hotel where Baretta lived.
There was plenty of hard action in this series,
despite Blake's public protestations that he opposed
wanton violence on TV. The show had a "with-it" light
sense of humor; comic relief was provided by Tony's
fancy-dude informant-friend Rooster.
