rc: Ken Olant (Dooley) Nick and Cody are none too happy when their latest client, met with in a rough biker's bar, turns out to be Mack McPherson, an "acquaintance" who landed them in trouble in the Army. He explains that he has written book about his time as a CIA agent, and now has to lie low before it's publication and is unable to go home, and simply wants them to look after his pet parrot while he's away. With $300 to persuade them, the Riptide trio reluctantly accept the "simple" assignment, but soon regret it when they meet Mack's ditzy girlfriend, Gloria, who is actually a FBI stenographer; when it becomes apparent that Mack hasn't been truthful with them; and when he seemingly dies in a helicopter crash. But nothing is as is seems, and it turns out that Mack's publication is actually a "tell all" book about his involvement with a mobster. They soon have the mobster's men after them, and the key to the whole situation is the parrot...
