On behalf of the agency's latest client, Consolidated Appliances, which has been the victim of a series of robberies, Kelly is acting as the liaison with the police, the case led by Sgt. Cates. Kelly can see how volatile Cates is when they capture two of three perpetrators in the process of the latest robbery, the third who got away and shot Cates' partner dead. Cates was ready to shoot one of the unarmed perpetrators point blank until Kelly stopped him. In meeting recently widowed Cates' preteen son Greg Cates, Kelly believes the outlet for all of Cates' pent up anger and frustrations is Greg, who is sporting some bruises and cuts on his face likely from a beating by his father. Kelly has to tread lightly before she accuses Cates of anything, especially as Greg loves his father and doesn't want to see anything bad happen to him. This situation may make Cates and Kelly's working relationship more difficult, which is only complicated by the third man - the cop killer - and the two masterminds of the robberies willing to use Greg as insurance so that their two colleagues in jail get off scot-free.

The agency is hired by the wealthy Mayhews of Beverly Hills. In the process of they putting their mansion up for sale and the selling agent holding open houses, they came home after one of those open houses to find the security alarm disarmed, with an assailant inside who proceeded to assault Mr. Mayhew physically and steal $500,000 worth of rare third dynasty Egyptian jewels, the robber who knew exactly where the display case housing the jewels was located of what were arguably the most easily transportable and salable items in the mansion. Despite there being a number of possible suspects in the prospective buyers who attended the open house, the Angels and Bosley focus their attention on two companies, the most reputable in Beverly Hills in their respective fields: Tyrone's, a gourmet food catering company, one of their vans which was seen by the Mayhews across the street when they arrived home; and Barry Kingsbrook Realty, the Mayhew's real estate agency. The Angels and Bosley infiltrate both companies on multiple levels. Once they believe they've figured out who is the mastermind, they set a trap by Tiffany going undercover as a Beverly Hills socialite hiring Kingsbrook to sell her mansion - with Tyrone catering the open houses - she making well known to all that she has a rare $2 million collection of early American letters which are easily transportable and salable by any good high end thief.

The agency is hired by Joe Fairgate to locate his sister, Sally Fairgate, who disappeared in a "she was there, then all of a sudden she wasn't" scenario. Although the Fairgates are extremely wealthy, the Angels and Joe believe, since there is no ransom request, that Sally's disappearance has nothing to do with their wealth, but rather something to do with the location where she went missing, a three day/thirty hour ballroom dance competition at the struggling Dancetown dance hall where Joe and Sally were entered and, coming out of nowhere, became the favorites to win the $5,000 first prize. Attending Dancetown as potential contestants, the Angels and Bosley end up investigating many of those involved directly with the competition: Dancetown's co-owners, P.J. Wilkes and Al Norman, who, on the surface, have a film noir shadiness to them, especially in Norman idolizing the classic movie tough guys; Elton Mills, the bandleader who longs to return to the big band era; and Billy and Betty, the band's young vocal couple whose usual taste in music isn't found in such dance halls. But who becomes their chief suspect is "couple number 6", who were favored to win the competition before Joe and Sally arrived on the scene, with the male of the couple having an especially easily triggered temper in achieving the prize, the question being at any cost?

The three want the Angels and Bosley to get their money back, no more, no less. Dexter believes that he truly conned some of them in they not knowing that he has their money, while he knows others know that he has their money. The Angels and Bosley figure that the best way both to get back at him and to retrieve the money is to con the con, preying both on Dexter's greed and his love for the ladies. While Bosley and Kelly team with Professor McKendrick, Kris with Mike, and Tiffany with Mrs. Pattison, they enact three somewhat concurrent cons related to how he conned the three: the smuggling of rare Mayan art pieces from Mexico into the States; the stealing of Dexter's Rolls-Royce; and providing a payoff to a Senator Langston, who has been investigating Dexter's criminal activities. Thrown into the mix is a violent criminal named De Sousa with who Dexter has been doing business, and the Angels and Bosley learning that Dexter has $100,000 stashed away for the emergency if he ever needs to make a quick getaway.
