Duke, the chief of police, is worried about the recent increase in crime in the city, especially the theft of expensive paintings. He assigns his team to investigate the matter and apprehend the thieves, who they believe are professionals.

Meanwhile, Mayor Hank visits Duke's office to discuss his plans for a new public transport system in the city. Duke is hesitant, but the mayor convinces him that it will greatly improve the lives of the citizens. As they are discussing the matter, Duke's team arrives with an update - they have found a clue that leads to the thieves. The scene ends with the officers rushing out of the office to chase the suspects.

The next few scenes show the officers chasing the thieves across the city, and finally, apprehending them. However, when they recover the stolen paintings, they also find a note from the thieves that demands a ransom for the safe release of the mayor's daughter, who has been kidnapped.

As the police officers try to figure out how to rescue the mayor's daughter, it is revealed that Mayor Hank has been getting anonymous calls from someone who seems to know about the kidnapping. The mayor confides in Duke and his team, revealing that he had made some enemies when he was a prosecutor and that he now believes that this is what is behind the kidnapping. The mayor begs Duke to rescue his daughter as he himself cannot get involved in the police operation.

The police department quickly gets to work and uses all their resources to rescue the mayor's daughter. As they race against time, it is revealed that there is a traitor in their midst, who is working with the kidnappers. The traitor is finally exposed, and the team is able to rescue the victim and apprehend the kidnappers.
