When someone tries to kill radio newswoman Joy Vance, the station naturally turns to Charlie and Company for help. The Angels' strategy is for Kelly to take over Joy's duties for a while, since their voices are similar, and for Kris and Sabrina to investigate the threats Joy has recently received. In the course of her work Joy frequently makes enemies, and one of these is probably the killer. Buck Willis, the radio station's helicopter pilot, hates Joy because she is more successful than he is. Sabrina flies with him doing the "air report," and finds him to be a man capable of violence. Dwayne Hanson, whose lifestyle is modeled after Charles Manson, believes he went to jail because Joy's reporting prejudiced a jury against him. Kris visits Dwayne and his "family" in the desert, but is not treated with great warmth hen they find out she isn't really a hippie. The last suspect is Professor Croyden, whose discovery of a cold vaccine was exposed by Joy as a fake. Croyden is known to be a skier, and the man who tried to kill Kelly (posing as Joy) was wearing a ski mask. Also, the license plates on the killer's car reveal that it was stolen that morning - from a student at Croyden's college - so Sabrina, who has just applied to be his assistant, may be in more trouble than she realizes. Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith. and Cheryl Ladd star as the Angels, Sabrina Duncan, Kelly Garrett and Kris Munroe, respectively, who work for Charlie, an unseen and very sophis-ticated boss who phones in their instructions. David Doyle stars as Bosley, Charlie's harried assistant.
