- An antique car rally serves as the backdrop when thieves steal a special fuel from a maximum security facility, and the owner enlists the Angels to locate the criminals.
- The agency is hired by Larry Montaigne of Montaigne Research and Development, which has just developed a new space-aged solid fuel, libidrium. Montaigne is scheduled to present the fuel to NASA for possible sale in the week, but the two fuel cores were stolen from his highly fortified facility, with the only probable eyewitness to the theft, the security guard on duty, killed in the process. The fuel cores are worth a few million, and will probably be sold to a foreign government meaning that the thief needs to get the cores out of the country. A further issue is that the fuel is highly radioactive, hence the need to keep the fuel contained within the cylindrical cores. In doing a search of the facility grounds, Sabrina finds some narrow tire tracks, which the Angels and Bosley tie to an antique car rally starting in the town of Termo, twenty miles away, they assuming the thief transporting the cores in his/her car in the rally to drop off en rally route at Santa Barbara on the coast to get it out of the country. In going undercover as antique car reporters, they are able to find four cars at the rally that match the tire marks at Montaigne's facility. As they delve into each of the four, they find that the respective owners are acting suspiciously, and/or what they said about themselves did not totally match what Charlie is able to find out about them, leaving all four as suspects. A further suspect is the rally director, Jeffers, purely due to the fact of he acknowledging his financial problems and his appreciation of the finer things in life.—Huggo
- The Angels and Bosley masquerade as Keystone Kops in order to recover a highly radioactive gas that is stolen. Two canisters of the space age fuel libridrium are stolen from a desert manufacturing facility. The Angels must catch the thieves before they sell the fuel to a foreign power, but the only clue to the crime is the tire track of a car designed in the 1920s. The investigation leads the detectives to a nearby antique car rally where the culprits plan to smuggle the libridrium out of the country in a racing car.
