What Is Mitchell About?
The premise of Mitchell without spoilers. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.
A relentless, hard‑edged police officer chases two drug couriers through the city in an effort to dismantle a major syndicate. The anti‑heroic Mitchell routinely defies his superiors, shuns bureaucratic procedures and shows little patience for conventional social etiquette, relying on brute force and ignoring paperwork in favor of direct action.

Walter Deaney, John Saxon, a trade union lawyer, shoots and kills a burglar in his own home, an act that triggers a tense chain of investigations. To keep Mitchell away from Deaney, Chief Albert Pallin, Robert Phillips, orders the relentless plainclothes detective to stake out the home of James Arthur Cummings, Martin Balsam — a wealthy man with deep mob ties whose empire revolves around the import and export of stolen merchandise. Mitchell, Joe Don Baker, begins the assignment with a cautious focus on Deaney, yet the case widens when Cummins himself becomes a pivotal figure in the unfolding criminal web.
