Pete and Linc witness a kidnapping of a son of a newspaper publisher, but his father refuses to report the abduction to the police. After Greer and the Squad got involved, it was revealed that an ex-servant of the publisher was involved.

The visit of Captain Greer's eccentric Uncle Max, a Greek painter, coincides with a series of art thefts. The robberies are baffling police as the guards can recall no one entering or leaving the galleries.
