The series followed the madcap adventures of NYPD officers Gunther Toody (Joe E. Ross) and Francis Muldoon (Fred Gwynne) in the fictional 53rd precinct in The Bronx.

The two actors were as different, both on screen and in real life, as their characters. Toody was short, stocky, nosy, not very bright, and lived with his loud, domineering wife Lucille. Muldoon was very tall, quiet, and more intelligent. He was a shy bachelor, still lived with his mother, and had two younger sisters. Ross dropped out of high school and worked as a singing waiter before becoming a stand-up comic. Gwynne graduated from Harvard. The two actors achieved great balance and chemistry as their kind-hearted characters got caught up in outrageous situations. Other cast members included Beatrice Pons, Al Lewis, Charlotte Rae, Nipsey Russell, Ossie Davis, Paul Reed, and Hank Garrett. This was among the first sitcoms that regularly featured interesting, usually endearing characters from multiple ethnicities, true New Yorkers—significant for early 1960s television
