Synopsis
The episode begins with Sammo taking a driving test. He is driving around the city with the instructor, Mr. Patel. Suddenly, Sammo sees some robbers, weilding automatic guns, pulling a military-style raid on an armored car delivering money.

Much to Mr. Patel's dismay, Sammo intervenes in order protect the drivers as much as he can. He almost catches one of the men, but the leader of the robbers, Fallon, shoots the man as he and the rest of his men get away in their own vehicle.

Later, Lt. Winship arrives at the scene of the crime, along with Louis and Grace. Winship recognizes one of the armored truck drivers: Andy Stallworth, who used to work with Winship on the police force.

During the course of the investigation, Andy becomes a suspect as someone who might have helped the robbers, as he was one of the few people who knew the route the truck was going to take. When Andy finds out about this, he goes off by himself to solve the case and clear his name. Needing someone to look after his daughter, Kristen, he leaves her in the care of Winship's unit--falsely telling Grace that Winship had agreed to this arrangement. As the team tries to find Andy--as well as Fallon and his gang--Sammo takes care of Kristen, helping her to build a volcano for her school project.

Andy does catch up with Fallon, and learns who was really helping Fallon--the bank manager, Frank LaSalle. Before he can do anything, he is discovered and captured by Fallon's henchman.

Eventually, Louis and Grace learn that Fallon has bought his own airplane, and is about to leave the city. They call Sammo, who is in the middle of his re-sheduled driving test with Mr. Patel. Again, Sammo drives into action to meet them at the airport, and again Mr. Patel is terrified by the action. Sammo blocks Fallon's plane with his car. He, Louis, and Grace defeat Fallon and all of his henchmen, and save Andy.

When the action is over, Kristen arrives and reunites with her father, Andy. She says that the volcano that she and Sammo made came in 2nd place at school--right behind Timmy Slater's asteroid. Sammo then apologizes to Mr. Patel, who passes Sammo anyway due to his skill in handling a vehicle.
