Texas Rangers Roland Sharp and Maggie Swanson question Percy Stevens about the whereabouts of his former prison cellmate Morgan Ball, needed to testify against organized crime boss John Cortland. Tracking down Ball to a warehouse, Ball tries to bribe Sharp with a key. Instead, he takes it and forces him outside, to awaiting FBI agent Eddie Zane. A sniper wounds Swanson, giving Ball a chance to escape. A group of cheerleaders from the University of Texas at Austin witness Ball’s murder. Agent Zane is found shot in the arm next to Ball’s body and claims he didn’t see the sniper. Anne, Teresa, Evie, Heather and Barb are taken to the police station, where they can’t identify the shooter.

Without evidence, John Cortland is set free. FBI Agent Zane secretly works for him, so killed Ball and shot himself in the arm.

Sharp moves in with them, and the other two move into the nearby fraternity house.
