When several rapes occur in a neighborhood a group of vigilantes decide they can do a better job than the police; Grant and Doyle serve as role models for a comedic actor. Santos introduces Grant and Doyle to Howie Melton, a comic actor who is doing research for his next project — he’s been assigned to the ADAM-12 unit and figures he only needs a couple of days to learn everything he needs to know. They answer a burglary call -- a clothes dryer and washer is missing from Vicki Jones' garage. A rapist has struck in a suburban neighborhood, gaining entry to the house by pretending to have car trouble with his black BMW. The description fits the perpetrator of two other reported incidents in the area. Glen Cameron tells the officers that the neighborhood men are tired of waiting for the police to do something and they are forming a group to take care of it themselves. Howie watches the action from the car. An observer notices a van driving up and down the street and all the garage doors opening and closing like crazy. After another rape is reported, the neighborhood, led by Glen Cameron, is really steamed. Grant notices that he's packing a pistol. When he disarms him, the mood turns even uglier.
