Most episodes are serious, some even disturbing. This one has a serious theme, with a secondary theme that's hilarious - that of Bubba being the "father" of an abandoned baby left at his door. ("No one who knows me would leave a baby with me!") As well, Bubba's the target of merciless kidding from everyone else in SPD, as well as Mrs. Tibbs, the orphanage manager to where the baby was brought, Bubba's landlady, the whorehouse madam on the outskirts of the county, and probably a few others I missed. Parker in particular is a riot, bordering on vicious. (Given the torment Parker has borne from Bubba in previous shows, I'd say it was justified!) The ending was somewhat melancholy, as are most of the shows in this production...so it fits right in. Well worth the watch.

"Nobody who knows me, would leave a baby with me"

While visiting Sparta a distant relative of Bubba's stops by the police station looking for him. Later on a baby is deposited on his doorstep. In between
those events Katy Boyer the baby's mother winds up dead.
Alan Autry is somewhat flustered with being saddled with an infant. But he does have Howard Rollins and AnneMarie Johnson for help.
In the meantime the search for both the father and murderer takes a wrong turn. They're not necessarily the same. Of course the Sparta PD gets it right at some point.
Nice episode with Alan Autry at center stage.
