Captain Kelly is about to reach retirement age, and Horner wants his job so bad he can almost taste it. However, Horner has made some enemies lately. The husbands of the two women both find out the same night that Horner has been seducing their wives while they were on the job. They both want to kill him. Horner is too busy investigating the robbery to notice the danger he's in.
