Jack shows Mattie the little apartment he rented for himself and Betty Jean. Later, at the Golick garage, Jack and Martin Spode clash with one another when Jack orders him around. Attempting to hang drapes in the new apartment, Betty Jean slips from a chair and falls to the floor. Mattie phones for help after finding an unconscious Betty Jean. Martin grouses to his wife about being a flunky to Jack Lane. Hester reminds Martin that he had a job offer from Jim Mitchell, but Martin reiterates that he can't get involved with an ex-con set up. Later, the couple quarrels ...

Jack learns from the doctor that Betty Jean's situation is critical. Hester warns Martin that the day she thinks he no longer loves her is the day she leaves him. After Bebe overhears the argument, and Martin leaves in anger, Hester attempts to explain things to her daughter. Martin returns and overhears Bebe say that she saw Hester and Hank kissing. Martin almost loses his temper, but then begins to see his wife in a different light. The doctor tells Jack that Betty Jean is all right, but she could still lose the baby. Martin finally grows closer to Hester.

Sara learned about Betty Jean's accident and rushed over to tend to her sister in law. Winston and Mike attempted to identify a person seen in one of Dalton's election photos. Betty Jean apologized to Jack for the accident that could cause her to miscarry their baby. Shopping for Jack and Betty Jean, Sara and Mattie spotted another patron, who Sara recognized as the man in Dalton's photo. Sara followed the stranger to a bar and planned to call Mike, but she was caught spying. The stranger asked Sara to sit down with him for a drink.

Sara phoned Mike, who ordered her to leave the bar. Sara ignored Mike's advice and had another drink with the stranger to stall for time. JH Phillips congratulated Fitzsimmons for helping him get Dalton elected DA. Phillips reassured Fitzsimmons that he will return the favor by expanding his operations in Monticello as they have Dalton in their pocket, but cautioned him that he would be eliminated if he ever thinks Fitzsimmons is untrustworthy. Mike arrived at the bar and pretended to be Sara's boyfriend, prompting the stranger to leave. Willy tailed the stranger to ...

Martin worries about working with a substitute manager at work. JH Phillips receives a call from Allen Ford, who has been sent to him by Ollie. Phillips meets with Ford, who resembles Monticello newsman Mac MacGinnis. Phillips explains to Ford that he wants him to impersonate MacGinnis and get him out of his hair. At the garage, manager Clarence harasses Martin. The situation escalates with Martin decking him. Clarence calls the cops on Martin. Ford has doubts that Phillips' plan will work. Ford sees a photo of MacGinnis and decides to study his voice and mannerisms. ...

Dalton worried that Mike hasn't thawed toward him yet. Virginia admired another home in a more upscale neighborhood. Phillips offered Dalton an advancement on his investment. While dining with Sara, Virginia was annoyed to see her husband lunching with Sybil. Peter instructed Sybil to investigate property in wealthy Oakhaven Estates. Phillips received word that Ford agreed to impersonate MacGinnis. Later, Phillips made an anonymous call to the police. Virginia met Phillips at Dalton's club and identified him as the mysterious Mr. X. Phillips was intrigued by Virginia....

Phillips gave instructions to Ford on the first part of his plan to impersonate MacGinnis. Martin and Hester debated Martin accepting the job with Jim Mitchell. Martin received a call from Paul Sims, his parole officer. Ford pretended to be MacGinnis and accused Commissioner Nicholson of embezzlement. Ford tricked Nicholson into meeting him in an hour with bribe money. Martin learned from Sims that if he isn't employed in a week, he'll have to go back to prison. Martin considered accepting Mitchell's offer. Nicholson gave Ford, disguised as MacGinnis, the bribe. Ford ...

Captain Marceau and Sgt. Killbourn examine a police photo of Commissioner Nicholson giving money to MacGinnis. An auditor phones to tell Marceau that Nicholson's books are $35000 short. Marceau goes to pick up Nicholson and MacGinnis. Mike reminds Killbourn that a picture isn't proof of anything. Marceau takes MacGinnis back to headquarters for questioning. Later, Nicholson is stunned to learn his books are being audited. Sgt. Killbourn tells Mike that the background report on Roy Benson was clean. Under questioning Nicholson cracks about the bribe, stunning MacGinnis...

Dalton decides to prosecute Nicholson, leaving Mike to prosecute MacGinnis. Marceau admits to Mike that he isn't convinced of MacGinnis' guilt and asks Mike to stall the legal proceedings while he investigates further. A sad Bebe visits Sara and admits that she's lonely. Phillips tells someone on the other end of his phone that MacGinnis is as good as prosecuted. Dalton and Phillips examined Dalton's investment, and Dalton reveals he needs money to build his new house in Oakhaven Estates. Phillips suggests that Dalton go easy on prosecuting MacGinnis. Dalton refuses ...

The principal wants to arrange a meeting between Kitty, her parents, Bebe, and the Spodes.

Winston received a call from a woman named Toni Fescina who said that she had information for him and wanted to know what it was worth. Kitty's mother Mrs. DeMarco met Martin and became condescending when she realized that he was Bebe's jailbird father. Mrs. Kerwin, the principal, sympathized with Martin and Bebe. Mrs. DeMarco expanded her rudeness to Mrs Kerwin, who quickly demanded that Kitty apologize to Bebe or not return to school. Toni fed Winston and Mike bits of information but held out for a cash exchange. Mike warned Toni about overplaying her hand. Winston ...

Willy verified for Mike information fed to him by Toni. Mike wondered if Toni would try to gouge money from both Winston and Benson, and decided to see if she would sell to the highest bidder. Martin questioned Jack about an opening at Golick's garage. Toni suggested that Mike join the bidding for her information, but he countered by offering her advice. Toni wouldn't agree to giving a deposition. Jack told Martin that he called Jake, who doesn't have a job opening. Mike feared Toni would be murdered and had Willy put two men on her tail. Toni phoned for Roy Benson ...

Hester annoyed Martin about calling Jim Mitchell, and he told her to quit bugging him. When Benson resisted negotiating with her, Toni threatened him. After Hester considered going back to work with Hank Muller, Martin conceded to talk with Mitchell. Toni demanded $5000 from Benson to keep quiet, and when he intimated she would be killed, she revealed that she has a letter in safe-keeping that will expose everything if she dies. Jim Mitchell offered Martin a job and an advance on his salary. Later, Mitchell instructed his flunky to give Martin legitimate work because ...

Harris introduces Martin to the garage and says he can start work tomorrow. Later, at home, Harris and his wife Doll quarrel about taking a vacation to Florida. She decides to take a plane that night, better off that she's far away if the cops bust him and that other crook Jim Mitchell for their illegal activities. Hester sighs with relief when she learns Martin has a legitimate job with Mitchell. On the way to the airport, Doll demands that her husband give her a cut of his money to spend in Florida. They get into another argument, causing Harris to accidentally veer...

Dalton instructs Mike to take Harris' deposition. Willy reports to Mike that Toni met with Benson at Fitzsimmons' club, and speculates she's playing both sides.

Martin spots Harris speaking a man Martin recognizes as a fence from the Lane hijacking caper, but Harris denies having any knowledge of it. Willy disturbs Mike with news that Toni's cab driver managed to ditch the tail, and now she's missing. She got into...

Winston fears Toni has been murdered and speculates that Monticello is being controlled by Dalton, with Benson and Fitzsimmons. Mike counters that Dalton was probably duped into winning the election. He has no idea what's really going on. At the garage, Martin meets a fellow ex-con washing windows and suggests he find a new job since Mitchell is probably running a crooked business. Martin's comments are overheard by someone eavesdropping on the conversation. Mike receives word from Winston that he had a call from Toni. Martin's fellow con warns him to get out while he...

Phillips requests a meeting with Dalton. Later, Dalton breaks his lunch date with Virginia, but tells her that she can have a nice house in Oakhaven Estates. Virginia wonders if he'll pay for it with Phillips' money. Sybil intimates to Ollie that Phillips has Dalton on string.

When Dalton counters that he'll fire him, Phillips offers another solution: have him prosecute the Ann Shea case. Virginia accidentally meets Phillips at his club and wants to know his ...

Martin is dejected to learn from Jack that Jake has just filled an open position. Later, Bebe wants money to take the girls to the movies, but Martin refuses to give it to her as they'll need every penny until he finds another job. Bebe ...

Sara notices money missing from her purse and realizes that Bebe took it. Martin arrives ...

Martin gives Bebe the money to take her friends to the movies, but he doesn't tell her that he pawned his watch to get it. Later, at the garage, Martin talks with Harris about making some big money and offers ideas. Harris cautions Martin that he hasn't been there long enough to be giving them ideas.

Dalton ...

Harris meets with Martin and continues to play ignorant about any wrongdoings at the garage. When Martin swears that he'll do anything to give his family a good life, Harris realizes that he's on the level, but cautions Martin that once he's in, he'll be in too deep to ever get out. Martin agrees. After explaining Mitchell's set-up, Harris warns Martin to make sure he keeps quiet about what he knows, because if he doesn't, Bebe might not ever grow up. Just after his meeting with Harris, Martin is visited by Jack who tells him that Jake does have a job for him now. ...

Fitzsimmons demands to meet with Phillips. A frustrated Mike arrives home and grouses about Dalton, who wants to nail the wrong people to the wall.
