The story follows the time in office of 3 small town police chiefs, including Chief Lee, Butts and Tyler as they pursue a child molestor/murderer in Foxy Funderburke. The story was set in the fictional town of Delano, Georgia, which had many similarities to the village of Warm Springs, Georgia, situated at the base of Pine Mountain. Warm Springs is the site of the vacation home of the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt and a state park bearing his name is located on Pine Mountain. In this story, Foxy Funderburke resided on Pine Mountain and it is presumed that the name of thetown of Delano refers to the proximity of President Roosevelt's summer home. Chiefs was a CBS miniseries in 1983. It starred Charlton Heston as Hugh Holmes, Keith Carradine as Foxy, Wayne Rogers as Will Lee, Brad Davis as Sonny Butts, Stephen Collins as Billy Lee, and Billy Dee Williams as Tyler (Tucker) Watts. Paul Sorvino, Tess Harper, Lane Smith and Danny Glover also appeared in the miniseries.
