A call to a night club finds a singer, Kathy, strung out on drugs causing a disturbance. She finds security with Reed who rides with her to the hospital. She tells him someone is trying to kill her and giving her drugs. Narcotics believes she can provide a lead to new drugs and ask Reed to go undercover with Kathy as a soldier AWOL with a big cache of heroin to sell. He agrees and although he makes a deal, the girl burns him under pressure. The narcotics squad lose Reed but Malloy arrives as the dealers are trying to kill Reed and Kathy.—Anonymous

Malloy and Reed are called to a nightclub where one of the on-stage performers, singer Kathy Royal, is on a rampage, seemingly on some sort of psychotic break. While in the back of an ambulance, she confides to Reed that "they" are trying to kill her. Meanwhile, the paramedics believe she's high, and thus do not want to tranquilize her until they know what she's using. On listening further to Kathy's story, Reed finds that her account and the paramedics' beliefs are not incompatible. As such, Reed is given an undercover assignment by Narcotics to discover the supply of new drugs - "rainbows" and "grasshoppers" - that are hitting the streets and that "they" are probably giving Kathy. An uncomfortable Malloy won't even be able to watch from the sidelines as Mac can't afford to spare him from work. Beyond the obvious risks of getting caught by the pushers, Reed will have to watch out for a needy Kathy, who may quickly fall for him, and he somewhat for her.—Huggo
