Avery knows that the mastermind behind the theft is Paul Hollister and his associate Wes Anderson, who met in Vietnam when they were respectively a US Navy fighter pilot turned war photojournalist and peace corps worker. Avery also knows that the merchandise will be fenced by Eleanor Case, once a respected art historian. The case takes Avery and the Angels aboard the Pacific Princess cruising from Los Angeles to St. Thomas, the US Virgin Islands, the cruise where Hollister and Anderson are passengers, while Bosley remains in Los Angeles to monitor the movements of Case. The agency's task is not so much to arrest Hollister but find where the merchandise is to save the insurance company $5 million on Wellington's insurance claim. One of the Angels has to get to know Hollister, that decision, made by Hollister himself, being Kris. Beyond the known dangers of the case, other issues arise which complicate matters: the Angels have to figure out who the three men on board the ship are, they who are making Hollister nervous; they needing to deal with a less than easy going Avery, who is quick to point blame to the Angels whenever things don't go according to plan; and Kris' strong and growing attraction to Hollister. That attraction includes knowing that he did humanitarian work before turning to a life of crime.

The horsethief is identified as a kid named Baker, a penniless orphan and drifter, aged 15, who has remarkably-clean clothing as well as a very sharp haircut for such an impoverished waif. Put on trial, with Ben furnishing evidence for the prosecution, young Jay Baker is quickly convicted. After the jury has rendered it's verdict, the innocent-faced juvenile delinquent is first lectured by the town's elderly Judge Platt, who then sentences the teenage horsethief to death by hanging, sentence to be executed the next day.

The local Sheriff is none other than Judge Platt's own son and he is able to call another hearing before the same Judge that very night to reconsider the sentence of death on the youngster. Later on, without any official retraction of the death sentence, the Sheriff simply releases Baker to Pride's custody because he feels his dad has grown senile in his long service to the community and doesn't appreciate what he's doing any longer.
