While Jim is having dinner with Christie at a restaurant, another patron makes a derogatory statement directed towards her. When Jim asks this person to apologize, the man refuses and then attacks him, which leads to an all out brawl in the restaurant. In the midst of all this chaos, the satchel containing Jim's firearm is stolen.

Unnerved by the whole situation, Jim seeks the help of his colleagues who all agree to search for the missing weapon. The issue of whether Jim should carry a gun or not, again comes into play as things go from bad to worse when it is suspected that his revolver might have been used by an unknown assailant to murder a 17 yr. old boy.
