Angel Martin's in the clover again. His brother in law has just been named Police Commissioner and Angel plans to milk that connection for all its worth. All the top city and police officials are at a party being thrown for his brother in law. Working the party as security is Rockford's old nemesis, Lt. Chapman. Using his position as brother in law of someone very important, Angel bosses around Chapman as much as possible. As a guest of Angel, Rockford looks on, somehow knowing Angel is overplaying his hand. Just when it looks like this is going to be a straight comedy episode, the party is hit by a gang of art thieves who rob the hosts of their art collection, the guests of their pants, and Chapman of his standing. Suddenly Chapman's in the doghouse needing Rockford's help, while Angel continues to play the big wheeler-dealer. This is a pretty good episode that makes good use of the established relationships with Angel, Lt. Chapman and Lt. Becker.
