A police story about two very different types of men teaming up to fight crimes in high places. The combination turns out to be one-of-a-kind. The story is based on the adventures of a pair of policemen, Hashiba Shigemi 26 years old and Keiichi Sasaki, 22. The two handsome young men are somewhat nonconformist and often act of impulse; especially the impetious Hashiba. They solve crimes with "less-than-orthodox" methods and push themselves to the limits of the legality; Often engaging themselves more on hunches and "faith" than for the same law; but after all they are the best "Combination" that can be found, thus the title of the series. They prefer to take action against the politically corrupt and the dealings of the yakuza. The Japanese Robin Hood?
