After an ugly quarrel between Count Biondino and his son, Enrico, Enrico stormed out of the house angerily. Within hours, two masked gunmen shot dead a couple of drug dealers in broad daylight on the streets of Rome. The police, convinced of Enrico's guilt in the crime based on the getaway motorcycle, went to see the father in hopes of arresting Enrico. A desparate Count Biondino calls Alexander for help hoping that a more objective investigation may prove his son's innocence.
