SYNOPSIS
Sexy Sgt. Pepper Anderson was an undercover agent for the criminal conspiracy department of the Los Angeles Police Department. Working on a vice-squad team that included Pete Royster and Joe Styles, two other undercover officers, she was called on to pose as everything from a gangster's girlfriend to a prostitute.
The team reported directly to Lt. Bill Crowley, who was the coordinator of all of its operations. Although not seen on a regular basis, Pepper's autistic younger sister, Cheryl, played by Nichole Kallis, was visited occasionally at the Austin School for the Handicapped during the first season. Her character was dropped in the fall of 1975.
The pilot for Police Woman, which starred Angie Dickinson and all of the series regulars except Earl Holliman, aired as an episode of Police Story titled "The Gamble".
