An attempt on Pete's life triggers flashbacks recalling the creation of his and Mac's partnership.

Ann Blyth makes a rare TV appearance (except for a cupcake commercial). She plays an apprehensive woman who hires Pete and Mac to keep an eye on her husband. But he's kidnapped while they are watching, and he Is held in $3 million ransom. To make amends for their embarrassment, Pete and Mac devise a plan to get the man back, without paying off the ransom.

Two robbers turn Earl Harper, a bank manager (Jacques Aubuchon) into a remote-controlled walking bomb.
