Alan Graves stages his own kidnapping, extorting money from his father-in-law so he can run off to Europe with a younger woman. Erskine and Colby head up the FBI's investigation and figure out the deception. Graves, meanwhile, is running into trouble. He is robbed when attempting to buy fake passports. His girlfriend also has attracted the attention of an old flame who intends to make his own score at Graves' expense.
