An out of town businessman has come to the police department because he was mad about being swindled--apparently by police officers. However, when it becomes apparent that the con was actually done by people POSING as police, Friday and Gannon go to work. According to the man who was cheated, when he returned to his hotel room there was a woman already in the room. Moments later, two men who identified themselves as vice detectives knocked on the door and arrested him for having a "professional girl" in his room. Now these men were not real police, but they sure had a lot of gall, as they took the pigeon to the actual police station and went through the motions--like he was really under arrest. Eventually he's told that the bail was $1000. Most victims are afraid to say anything, as they are afraid of their reputations, but fortunately this businessman was angry enough to go the real police.
Gannon goes undercover in this same hotel--posing as a businessman from out of town. The hope is that the same team of con-men will also approach him with the scam.
Overall, a very interesting episode. While swindles are somewhat interesting, having the criminals actually take the victim to the police station and apparently go through the motions is very complicated--and very nervy. Well worth seeing.
