Synopsis
Original Airdate: December 29,1983, 8:00pm

In his latest crime scheme, Rudolph Brock, a local crime czar, sets a trap for a truck transporting paper used by the government for printing money. After the theft, Auto and Walter set out to trap the criminal by closing down his operafions, thereby forcing him to use the paper to print money in order to keep up his payments to the local syndicate.

Using his expertise gained from watching Walter's gangster video tapes, Automan goes undercover as a hotshot gangster and manages to close down Brock's car theft ring, gambling casino, prostitution ring, and loan shark operation. Despite Brock's attempts to stop Walter and Auto - including several attempts by Kevin Mayhew to kill the two - he is unsuccessful and is receiving threats from the syndicate because of his being behind on payments.

While Walter and Auto continue to harass Brock's operations, Jack stumbles onto his counterfeiting operation and is caught by Brock's men, and they learn that Walter is one of Jack's men. In the meantime, Auto works out a deal to buy Brock's counterfeit money, but during the exchange Brock's men recognize Walter as one of Jack's men. After a fight, Mayhew is convinced to work for Auto instead. With his help, Walter, Jack and Auto must stop Brock before he can get marxied and leave the country with Auto's payoff money.
