This series was a slapstick parody on police shows.
Sheriff Elroy P. Lobo of Orly County, Georgia, was not
really a crook. He might be a bit larcenous in intent,
but somehow he always wound up doing the right thing,
in spite of himself. Time and time again, he set off on
a money-making scheme and wound up catching crooks
and recovering loot--which he never got to keep. Of dubious
help was his bumbling, idiot brother-in-law, Deputy
Perkins. A bit brighter was the handsome, college-
educated mayor's son, Deputy Birdie Hawkins, though he
too was on the naive side. He somehow managed to believe
in the integrity of his boss, despite mounting evidence
to the contrary. Birdie dated pretty Sarah Cumberland,
who ran the Orly Hotel. Sexy Margaret Ellen was a
waitress who showed up regularly at the sheriff's office
stuffed into one skimpy costume or another, bringing
meals for prisoners and staff. As with B.J. and the
Bear
, from which it was spun off, there were wild car
chases and sexy women populating almost every episode.

In the second season Elroy and his two deputies had moved
to Atlanta, where they were appointed to a special police
task force. The title of the series was also shortened to
Lobo. In Atlanta their presence was resented by Chief of
Detectives Carson, who couldn't understand how the hicks
from Orly were going to help his overworked force. Most
of the Atlanta cops, including Carson's aide, sarcastic
Sgt. Hildy Jones, didn't get along too well with the
country bumpkins. About the only two exceptions were
Peaches and Brandy, two sexy undercover cops who
worked with Lobo and his men on special assignments.
