Freebie and the Bean

BBC One
on BBC One London

The feature film starring James Caan, Alan Arkin

Freebie and his constant companion the Bean are two tough, big-city cops, whose methods are decidedly unconventional. Working on a case against a syndicate boss, they discover that there is a 'contract' on him. In order to bring him to trial they must first keep him alive! Fights, chases, collisions and mayhem follow as the two zany policemen try to 'protect' the guilty man.
