- Bill is assigned to locate a missing circus clown. Ralph is recruited to infiltrate the circus as a human cannonball act.
- A pair of ninjas beat up a clown named Yuri under the big top and drag him away. Bill (Robert Culp) meets with his boss (William Bogert), who assigns him the case. His new car is a red Volkswagon beetle!
Ralph (William Katt) is passing out class papers, and is disgusted with their efforts. He and Bill meet at the circus, and Ralph changes into his suit to scry Yuri's possessions. He sees a man named Biff Anderson, and Bill goes to visit him. Ralph meets Alicia (Lisa Bowman), who thinks he is the new human cannonball.
Bill visits Biff Anderson (Richard Doyle), and the ninjas abduct Biff. Ralph has to save Bill from falling off the roof and loses the ninjas. After recovering, Bill takes his boss to Biff Anderson's apartment, but the apartment is different, and Biff is not the same, either. His boss doesn't believe Bill.
The team meets and discusses strategy; Pam (Connie Sellecca) will research a dating service matchbook found by Bill, Bill goes undercover (as a cage cleaner), and Ralph auditions as the human cannonball. Meanwhile a circus hand locks Bill in a cage with a tiger. Ralph rescues Bill and calms the tiger. The circus hand witnesses it and runs off to tell a co-worker, both of whom are the ninjas. Ralph gets the cannonball job, and he and Bill tries to get information from the circus workers. A dwarf (Tony Cox) warns Ralph not to ask questions.
Ralph's class shows up at the circus and the kids feel bad because they realize Ralph is giving up on the class. They promise to start studying. Meanwhile, one of the ninjas tampers with Ralph's camel. The circus starts, and Pam sees Ralph with a performer who was also at dating service on the matchbook. They are suspicious of the dating service, and Bill finds out Pam's date Kenny/Chuck (Patrick Stack) is an imposter. Ralph is shot out (too far) and the ninjas take off. Bill borrows Tony's (Michael Pare) car and they pursue to the dating service. The circus performers/ninjas kidnap Biff and Ralph spots them from the roof. Bill and Ralph corral them, and Biff explains. The dating service is actually a front for a CIA de-briefing center, and the ninjas were trying to steal CIA secrets.
Ralph gets his student's scores, and is happy that they have done well. Bill is the agent of the month for his work. Pam gets a call from Kenny, who turns out to be a CIA agent, and other CIA agents start turning up, asking Pam for a date!
