Tony and John stake out a suspected distribution point for illegal chicken meat. When Tony and John sample the illegal meals, Tony learns that one of the cooks is a serial killer. The killer throws a cleaver at John's face and then cuts his own throat rather than allow Tony to arrest him. Due to the odd circumstances in which Tony comes up with the evidence, the police department wants to fire him, but Mason Savoy announces that Tony has been recruited and hired by the F.D.A.

Director Applebee assigns Tony to fire Amelia Mintz. At the newspaper, a radical group tries to take over the paper to have their manifesto published. Tony stands up to the radicals, but Amelia saves the day by reciting her criticism from the morning paper -- causing the radicals to become violently ill. Tony is head-over-heels in love with Amelia, but she seems to have disappeared.
