Laine and Grove get Cass Pollack, a jazz musician and ex-heroin addict who is on the run from the Mafia, to steal the Vatican's pornographic reel in return for them providing Pollack with an alibi. This is due to the Mafia killing Pollack's wife and daughter and Pollack being the only suspect, so he also has the police trying to find him.
