The Angels get hired by a woman who is the madam over a group of prostitutes who semi-openly operate in a Los Angeles apartment complex. It seems like someone, likely a man, is attacking blonde residents, more specifically, strangling them to death.
All three Angels go undercover as working prostitutes. There are some suspects, including the owner of a nearby restaurant, the restaurant's delivery man, and a psychiatrist who seems to have unusual insight to the potential killer's modus operandi.
This is an entertaining episode. Obviously, the Angels never actually do the deed their undercover job asks for-- this was airing on prime-time television, after all-- but there's some tension when Kris is expected to meet a wealthy yacht owner alone.
Bosley gets to help out of course, this time as the building's maintenance man.
Future "Hill Street Blues" co-star Michael Warren has a bit part here as a police lieutenant. The show really should have included him as a semi-regular police contact for Los Angeles cases.
The revelation of the killer happens mid-episode, so viewers will know who it really is, so that kind of spoils things, but it's still somewhat interesting to see the Angels finally catch on to who is behind everything (though a secondary suspect is no angel, by any means).
In the modern day, the safety of sex workers and the select decriminalization of it has become something of a social justice cause, so there's some intriguing relevance for modern audiences.
