Storyline

Jack Walsh (McDonald) needs to score something quick. But he is getting ready for a blind date. His date, Ann, is played by Julie Lott. Walsh claims the date is going well, which it sort of is, until his card failed to work. She bails on him when she says she is going to bathroom. "She's not coming back, is she?" Jack asked a waiter. Jack heads for his apartment, and a message was waiting for him from Los Angeles bailbondsman Eddie Moscone (Hedaya). Moscone has quite a job for him.
The next day, Jack heads down to Eddie's to get information on this job. Eddie has a job for Jack and rival bounty-hunter Marvin Dorfler (O'Ross) to work on together. Husband-and-Wife Con-team, Bernie Abbot (guest star Jeffrey Tambor) and Helen Bishop (guest star Cathy Moriarty) have to be brought in. Jack was assigned to bring back Bernie for $25,000 and Marvin was to bring in Helen, for $20,000. Jack thinks this is a piece of cake and doesn't care about Marvin, he'll bring in both of them for $45,000.
