Ex-convicts with a grudge for the city officials whom they blame for their incarceration hatch a plot for revenge. They frame an ex-governor for kidnapping and they also frame a bank president of robbing his own vault by getting the intended victim to handle something which they make fake sets of fingerprints off and leave at crime scenes. They are planning to frame the mayor when Torch and Toro figure out the crooks behind the scheme and apprehend them.
