Intrigue

Tony is accused of arson, and Bill and Ralph must find evidence to clear his name.

The episode opens with a man in a fire-suit torching a warehouse. The criminal races off, almost killing a night guard, who takes the tag number down.

Tony (Michael Pare) later breaks into a rental car lot and steals (?) a car. He drives by a pair of vice cops, who note the tag number and pursue. When they pull him over, Tony claims he was repossessing the car. He drives off, and the vice cops pursue. Ralph (William Katt) sees the chase and changes into his suit, then stops the vice cops.

The next day, Tony is absent from school. Bill (Robert Culp) tells Ralph that Tony is wanted for arson (including a federal records building) and other crimes. Ralph is shocked to hear it, but goes to his class and offers to help. Ralph goes home, and Tony is hiding out there. Tony asks Pam (Connie Sellecca) to help him as a lawyer. Tony's repo employer, Cameron (Timothy Carey) claims not to employ Tony, and escorts Ralph off his property. Ralph views the inside of the garage and sees Cameron talking about stolen cars. He turns invisible and gets copies of repossession orders with Tony's name on it, then calls the police.

Meanwhile, Bill is under pressure from Treasury and IA, and police are following Pam. Tony sneaks out from Ralph's house. Ralph tries to get a "vibe" from the arson-suit helmet, and sees arson in progress at La Reina cinema, where a woman is in danger. He flies off and rescues the woman.

The next day, Bill and Ralph visit the torched federal records building, and find out the federal clerk (Woody Eney) gave a grant to the movie theater that was torched. The police are still harassing Bill and Ralph, and also finally capture Tony. Bill finds evidence that the clerk has lots of illicit property, so he and Ralph investigate. The clerk was using federal grant money to buy property and torched the federal builing to cover it. Bill confronts him, and he dons the fire-suit and give chase. Ralph, still working on flying and landing, stops the clerk and rescues Bill from his wrecked car.

Tony is cleared of all charges, and appears in school the next day.
