Erik Estrada stars as a motorcycle cop named Poncherello ("Ponch" to friends) who bears an all too obvious resemblance to both Baretta and the Fonz.

He demands to know why Erikson gave up his step-father's name--Homburger--when he came to America, and chose the name of "Erikson," "son of Erik," instead. Was it, Berman muses, an attempt on Erikson's part to conceal his own roots...
