Henry Innes, the co-owner of a helicopter parts manufacturing company, becomes alarmed when a third helicopter in three months crashes and kills five people after having the company's parts installed. With their company being sold in a few days, he tries to convince his partner, Jarrett Powers, to reveal to authorities before the sale that their defective parts were the cause of the crashes. When Jarrett refuses to co-operate, Henry contacts their financer, a loan shark who was the only one who would refinance their company when it nearly went bankrupt, and is killed by Scanlin for his efforts.

After Innes' body is found, Walter is put on the case to track down the killer with the only clue they have: an appoint- ment book showing his having a meeting at a local singles nightclub. At the club, Walter meets Innes' daughter Rachel, and pieces together the meeting with Scanlin, which his partner denies.

To lure Scanlin and Powers out into the open, Auto poses as a Texas millionaire looking to purchase the manufacturing company. Working with Rachael, they find at her father's home a computer disc listing the defective surplus parts sold as new pieces. Driving to the home to join them, Walter is traded by Scanlin and Powers, who realize, they must now kill the trio to silence them.
