When a crime lord's henchman targets a former stripper (Markie Post), Mannion must protect her from the same fate as a murdered trial witness.

Mannion's attractive fencing teacher says she killed her husband in self-defense at her studio. Mannion wants to believe her, but the evidence at the crime scene is inconclusive. Meanwhile, Debreno recognizes a suspect in a drug case as his childhood friend who convinced Debreno to go into the Police Academy.
