Constable Benton Fraser sets out to prove the innocence of a twelve year-old purse snatcher who is accused of taking part in an armed robbery.

A six year-old girl who lives in Fraser's building appeals to him to help her Daddy who seems to have a bad habit of "hurting himself a lot."

Sergeant Duncan "Buck" Frobisher, a legendary Mountie and best friend of Fraser's dead father goes missing a week before retirement.

Ray takes Fraser on his first trip to a supermarket. While there Fraser sniffs a pound of ground chuck and senses that the "All Beef" label may be a bit optimistic.

When Lenny, a local pizza delivery boy, has his car stolen right in front of Fraser's building, Diefenbaker takes off in relentless pursuit.

While dining out in Chinatown, Fraser "hears" a kidnapping takes place and must follow down his earwitness clues in order to save the young man's life.
