Plot Overview
A gun bought by a vacationer for protection winds up causing a lot of misery...first, it's stolen by a burglar, who critically wounds the gun owner upon his return home, leaving the owner paralyzed. The crook dumps the gun before Terry and Chris bust him, and it's found by a couple of teenaged kids, one of whom thinks he can make a profit by selling the weapon. The shady character he tries to sell the gun to steals it from the boy instead and uses it in a fatal armed robbery. The gunman's cousin steals the gun once again, as payment for a debt the man owes. The rookies try to get the gun and stem any further violence, but the headstrong teenager complicates matters by trying to get the weapon himself.
