When Sally and Bernie set up a stake-out on a hotel room, they spy some pretty unusual goings-on. What can they make of the little bits they can see? And who is the dangerous-looking man who is also spying on their quarry?
Sally's brother-in-law turns up on the run from gangsters, needing a place to hide, and a chance to say goodbye to his niece and nephew before he leaves the country. Sally asks Bernie for his help, and together they cook up a scheme to save Brendan's life.
Bernie knows it is a little shady to be searching the prosecutor's office on behalf of the defense attorney, but it's either that or let an innocent man go to jail. He does not want Sally involved, until he finds himself locked out on the window ledge.
A twenty-year-old letter from a bank robber to his girlfriend seems to be a clue as to where he hid the money before he was killed, but Bernie has no way to understand the code. He gets Sally to deliver the letter to the woman, so he can follow her.
