Mallory returns to duty with a new car. He lets Reed drive it to work. They leave the car parked in the street when they chase a purse snatcher and catch him in a dumpster. On their return they find someone scraped the right front fender. At roll call they fill Mac in on what happened and he suggests his brother's body shop in Beverly Hills. Reed agrees to pay half but Malloy is worried about the cost. They receive a call from a woman whose drunk boyfriend is playing Indian and shooting arrows. They catch him at a newsstand in a fight. A store is held up and the owner suffers a heart attack in front of his wife as the officers question him. They try CPR but at the hospital he is pronounced dead. The last call is a robbery in progress at a pharmacy. The thief jumps through the window and is chased by the officers. A couple of shots are fired but the man gets away in the back of a pickup. A witness trails the pickup and alerts a motorcycle officer who notifies Malloy and Reed. They are able to take the wounded man in the house. Mac's brother's estimate is high ($120) but says he will do it for the materials costs of $20.

Reed returns from vacation with a bad case of sunburn and is in agony all day. Reed and Malloy deal with a traffic accident, drug dealer, robbery suspect, and help rescue two boys from the water whose boat capsized.
