Even retiring as an actress does not stop paparazzi, especially Joe Paxton, from pursuing a retired actress. She sets up a fake jewelry theft and kidnapping to elude him when she returns to the US from Paris. When someone robs her for real and she is shot, Kojak arrests Paxton who was, of course, at the scene. The real thief doesn't know that the jewelry was long ago replaced with paste and tries to fence it. Kojak and Paxton (who has escaped from custody) try to catch a thief.
