Mexican-American Mayor Tom Alcala angers militant young Chicanos in his support of Sgt. Raul Alvarez, harsh with his own people and accused of beating one of them. The episode title refers to the phrase "Senor Pig" which is scrawled on the apartment door of an over-zealous Mexican-American cop who takes it very personally when one of his own gets into trouble. The mayor becomes involved after the policeman is charged with beating two robbery suspects and his ethnic identification with the cop creates an interesting sub-plot. Guest Henry Darrow and Anthony Quinn are two strong actors who can make such a situation believable. |
