- The agency is hired by Joe Fairgate to locate his sister, Sally Fairgate, who disappeared in a "she was there, then all of a sudden she wasn't" scenario. Although the Fairgates are extremely wealthy, the Angels and Joe believe, since there is no ransom request, that Sally's disappearance has nothing to do with their wealth, but rather something to do with the location where she went missing, a three day/thirty hour ballroom dance competition at the struggling Dancetown dance hall where Joe and Sally were entered and, coming out of nowhere, became the favorites to win the $5,000 first prize. Attending Dancetown as potential contestants, the Angels and Bosley end up investigating many of those involved directly with the competition: Dancetown's co-owners, P.J.
