Jon Baker and Frank Ponch Poncherello have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles, but for very different reasons. Baker is a beaten-up former pro motorbiker trying to put his life and marriage back together. Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million-dollar heist that may be an inside job-inside the CHP.

They're kings of the road, but Officers Jon Baker and Frank "Ponch" Poncherello also swoop out of the skies via parachute, hang-glider and junkyard crane. In between high-speed pursuits and road (and off-road) rescues, the two California Highway Patrol motor officers also cut loose on the roller disco floor and the race-car circuit.

Television series set in the sun-drenched sprawl of Los Angeles that tells the adventures of two California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers, Jon Baker and Frank "Ponch" Poncherello.
