Lieutenant Doakes had been with the Clarence County Police Department for eighteen years, and had seen plenty of good times and bad, but his proudest day was when his own son Elwood joined him on the force. The lad had grown up on his father's motorcycles, riding home from the hospital on one in fact, so It was no surprise that they became a frightful crime fighting team - frightful to the mobsters and ner'e-do-wells in the county, given the Lieutenant's sharp eye and young Elwood's brave throttle hand. And would have been even more frightful to Elwood's mother if they didn't lie to her regularly about the events of a policeman's day. And soon Elwood would have a wife of his own to lie to - he'd been courting that pretty McPherson girl for quite some time now and was ready to pop the question.
