The judge, along with several other outstanding citizens of Winston, desperately wants her to go away. After three unsuccessful attempts on her life, the perpetrator resorts to kidnapping in an attempt to insure her elimination from Courtroom D. When Alou and a friend go looking for Justice, they bump into a couple of uniformed policemen who, they fear, area part of a sinister plot to get rid of her. Justice finally faces the fact that she has two critical tasks: survival and thwarting the evil plot of the perpetrator. Will she have to choose between the two?
