Overview
Danny Warren is a former minor-league shortstop that becomes a narc to uncover drug dealing in this situation comedy. Investigating at a high-school adult-education class, he falls for the tempting teacher.

Swimming classes and wine tastings serve as background for a series of comic catastrophes.
