EPISODE SYNOPSIS
While Laura tries to entertain their new client, Emory Arnok, who has hired the agency to do a routine security profile of his supermarket chain, Remington Steele gets involved in a case more suited to his sense of adventure- the disappearance of millionaire video game designer George Kaplan. His partner Albee Fervitz begs Steele to help find Kaplan before a board meeting where their company will be sold to rivals Gruff and Reston Industries.
With the clock ticking and a bewildered Arnok in tow, the investigation quickly turns serious when Kaplan’s mysterious ex-girlfriend and his co-worker wind up dead.
With minutes to spare, they pin the crime on Albee and his wife who created the fictitious Kaplan in order to avoid the merger and take all of the money for themselves. Arnok- now taken with their exciting lifestyle- humorously offers to join the agency as a private investigator.
