of Clinton Corners (located near Plains Georgia, the home of
President Jimmy Carter).

- Gulch Koock as Deputy Harley Puckett
- Barbara Cason as Policewoman Cloris Phebus
Besides his police staff, the Chief had to contend with Mayor Teddy

- Vernee Watson as Lucille Banks, the Mayor's black secretary and love
interest (and later wife) of Deputy Curtis Baker.
