Original Air Date—22 January 1985
Face decides to invest some of the teams funds in 60% of a boxer, Billy Marquette, but looking him up the team finds
his sister Tina bend over his miserable body after Sonny Monroe's ruffians beat him up to force him to loose the fight
of his life against a certain Dixie Joe so the gangster can earn enough money to finance a lucrative drug deal with a
Columbian. Hannibal enjoys concocting one of his more elaborate plans. First Marquette is taken out of the equation
because of a 'hand wound' fighting BA, who thus becomes his obvious successor, managed by Hannibal, who supposedly
owes gambling debts to a bookie; buying those off makes the villains pay back Face's investment with a nice profit.

punch...
