When the strangled body of Cyndi Parker washes ashore, Mike and Holly are assigned to the case. Their chief suspect is Ronnie Martin, a rising football quarterback who was at the Half Moon Club with the deceased the night she was murdered. When Mike and Holly question Terri Roman, the manager of the Arizona Apaches, about Cyndi's death, she denies any knowledge of Cyndi's try-out for their cheerleading squad. Meanwhile, retauranteur Peter Ricci, and son of mobster Dominic Ricci, courts Holly after a "chance" meeting in a jewelry store.
