Stu's Monday starts maddeningly. His op's blackmailing a philandering client, so Stu chucks him out onto the Strip, frightening off a voluptuous, potential client waiting in the lobby. Stu Bailey dashes after the steamy blonde, who refuses to divulge her name - despite their plunging into a whirlwind romance. The operative turns up dead in Stu's office, but Stu was trysting with the mystery woman at the time. When she goes missing, the heat hunt Stu for his op's murder, Stu tracks his alibi.—David Stevens

The two halves of Stuart's life are going in opposite directions. He is having problems on the professional side as he has discovered Charlie Dixon, to who he and Jeff regularly contract out business, has been blackmailing June Kingsley, a woman Charlie has been tailing on a case that Bailey and Spencer refused to take, such conduct which could end up being a black mark on the agency. As such, Stuart not only tells Charlie to cease and desist putting the squeeze on Mrs. Kingsley or else, but also to leave the office never to come back. Conversely, Stuart is in bliss in his personal life as he has embarked on a passionate romance with a woman who stumbled into his office, she about who he cannot stop thinking, he jumping at the telephone every time it rings hoping that it is her. There is one problem with this woman: she won't tell him her real name - they having decided he should call her Ann for convenience - or how to contact her, he suspecting that she is hiding something, that suspicion being that she's married. These two halves of Stuart's life begin to merge, in ways he only initially sees with the full connection between the two he may not even suspect, as he ends up fighting for his life in being implicated in murder.—Huggo
