* BaitAndSwitchComment: When lecturing young Leland on turning his life around, Harris tells him that he may not have money, but he has something that Leland never will. The audience expects the usual Aesop of him saying "self-respect". Instead, after a beat, he proudly proclaims "''Credit!''" and then brags about how ''he'' can sign for things at department stores.

"Loan Shark" is the seventh episode of the fifth season of ''Series/BarneyMiller''.
A loan shark is roughing up winos and other unfortunates who don't pay up. Detective Harris suspects Mr. Dellarosa, a pawn shop owner who has been known to engage in loan sharking as well as fencing stolen goods. However, the loan shark, when he is apprehended, turns out to be a 14-year-old black boy, Leland Turner. Harris is shocked and more than a little offended to find out that young Master Turner is doing quite well as a loan shark, carrying around $7000 in 1978 money on his person and owning his own Lincoln Continental.
The second wacky case involves a tattoo artist, Mr. Fallon, and his customer, George Willis. It seems Mr. Willis got cold feet four letters through a "MOTHER" tattoo, which is why his arm says "MOTH". Mr. Willis demanded the tattoo be removed, Mr. Fallon said that tattoos can't be removed, there was an altercation, and each is charging the other with assault.
