Episode #3 "A Tush of Evil":
Dash Worley (Rob Hawke), one half of the Worley and O'Bannon Detective team, was hot on the trail of the 'Case of the Year' when he was gunned down at the end of episode #1. Despite evidence to the contrary, the murder was pinned on his partner, Harry O'Bannon (Kerry Griffin) when he fled the scene with burlesque dancer and femme fatale, Agatha Frisky. Commissioner Abernathy (Carmine Lucarelli) ordered Harry's long-time friend, and former partner Frank "Sally" Salvatore (Jerry Schaefer) to arrest the detective despite Sally's misgivings.
The case involved goings on at the Aubergine Club, the #1 Burlesque club in town. The owner, Ephram Flintlock (Tom MacKay) and his sidekick, Puck Darlington (Kris Siddiqi) are obviously using the club as a front from nefarious purposes.
Meanwhile, held up in a safehouse, Harry is busy on four fronts. Avoiding the law, he also fights off the advances of his secretary, Helen Grayle (Lara Johnson), falls ever deeply in love with Agatha Frisky AND continues to work the case which plunges deeper and deeper into a vast conspiracy that goes all the way up the MAYOR himself.
As the episode ended, Agatha had vanished and Sally took Harry away in handcuffs after Helen gave him up.
How can Harry work the case from behind bars? Will he go to the electric chair? What exactly is Ephram Flintlock and Puck Darlington up to? Will Harry get the girl or will the girl get him?
