Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the first episode of a new Wiseguy story arc, federal undercover agent Vinnie (Ken Wahl) is summoned to Washington, ostensibly on assignment to four-star general Leland Masters (Norman Lloyd). The General asks Vinnie to help track down a gang of counterfeiters who intend to destroy the economy of Japan by flooding the market with phony yen. The subsequent murder of a top economist, and several other curious events, lead Vinnie to suspect that someone is trying to get even with him for his role in preventing the military takeover of a third-world country a few years back.
