A corrupt businessman and the plant manager of the chemical company have conspired to oust the Congressman because of his refusal to help them thwart federal and local environmental regulations.

As a final effort, the chief associate of the Congressman, a beautiful middle-aged woman, is kidnapped, moved from place to place, assaulted and raped. Dave and the police rescue her after an intensive search and physical confrontations.

The kidnappers are brought to justice and sentenced. The Congressman decides to drop out of politics, the underlying focus of his reluctance to go public not clearly known, but suspicions hed become gay hinted at by associates.
