Synopsis
A paramilitary group known as the "Posse Magistratus" is suspected of a string of bank robberies, including one involving a modified World War II fighter plane.

Meanwhile, Ski goes undercover as a mechanic, and the team learns the group plans to assassinate a city councilman aboard the Queen Mary.
