Joey, who loves D.J. and her sisters like they were his own daughters, has bought D.J. a red 1977 Firebird for her 16th birthday, but the car is not in good condition, so Jesse and Joey work on it and fix its problems. Just as D.J. is about to drive the new car for the first time, a police officer, Officer Warren, shows up after getting a look at the car from the street and tells the family that D.J.'s new car was reported stolen.
