Earl mistakenly believes that Barbaras not dead and that Sam is killing her there; hes so freaked out that he doesnt think to make sure its actually Sam. Carol tries to activate her plan by sending Sam a copy of the tape; Sam thinks that its for something kinky that Carol wants and when Sam tells her that hell do to her what was done on the tape and she assumes that he will kill her, so she sends another copy of the tape to the Chief of Police (), and tells him that she wants him to arrest Sam for murdering Barbara, and the Chief is happy to oblige--because he is the man on the tape. The Chief manages to find the instruments that Sam intended to use to kill Barbara and arrests him. Now Sam must get Barbara back, alive, so he can prove he didnt kill her.

But unfortunately for Sam, the kidnappers are sweet-natured Ken () and Sandy Kessler (), who are neither particularly inclined to resort to murder nor fully prepared for Barbaras volatile, spoiled nature. So Sam must juggle the police, who are growing increasingly suspicious of Sam himself, and his own mistress Carol Dodsworth (), who has her own plans to get her hands on Sams fortune. Meanwhile, Barbara herself warms toward her captors and wonders why Sams taking so long to organize the ransom.
