Synopsis

Shosuke and Shoko are secretly married. Only the two of them, and Head-Chief Asahina know about it. Everyone else at the Asahi Police Department think the two of them are father/daughter. This is one of the great pre-trendy dramas that displays slapstick wackiness you usually saw in 1970s American comedies. --- groink
