Monroe is the victim of sexual assault, when two women (a short, plump blonde and a tall, husky brunette) kidnap and blindfold Monroe while he is about return home from his security guard job at the mall, take him to their apartment and have their way with him the entire night. Henry is appalled at the situation, especially when Muriel, Jackie and Sara doubt that Monroe's story will not be taken seriously by the police, given the highly unusual nature of the crime as the sexual assault happened to a man. When the police officer tells Monroe that it would be best not to pursue charges, in order to avoid any unwanted media attention that could result from a trial, Monroe ponders whether to drop the case, but Henry convinces Monroe not to give up and decides to team up with Monroe to track down his assailants and bring them to justice.
A prominent civic leader in Marin County, Herbert Maxwell, is found dead in his car and Henry is assigned by Mrs. Stinson to write a front page story in tribute to him printed for this week's Bugler. When Henry finds a discrepancy in the police report, in which the time Herbert's secretary said he left work and the time he was found dead are inconsistent, he and Monroe suspect that foul play may be involved, leading them to investigate the situation. But when Henry interviews Mr. Maxwell's secretary to find out what really happened, he finds out that Herbert's secretary lied about when he left work as a way to keep his secret, that she and Herbert have been having an affair. This leads Henry to make the tough decision on whether to print the story of Mr. Maxwell's secret life or to keep the name of Mr. Maxwell untarnished.
