Danny sticks up for Ben when the nasty policemen want to kill him, even vis its him in his sewer home somewhere under Wilshire Boulevard to warn him that the cops are coming with fire hos es and flamethrowers. Such touching devotion leads to a dewy denouement that paves the way, alas, for still another sequel...
